Hi Katana,
Thank you very much for the compliment!!!

Actually it seems I have pretty much written a book, in composite form

on these forums over the years!! I just enjoy doing research and in reality learn from the queries posted, then share my findings. The best thing is that we all learn together.

Can you post a photo of the markings and I'll check some sources here.

All the best,
Jim
