Robert,


I was not able to open the photo, but I sure am not a computer wizard like most of the guys on the Forum. I am sure interested in seeing the photo and trying to help with the identification. Can you try to attach the photo again or am I doing something wrong to see it. HELP

It is the blue mark that looks like a sword with a handguard!

All I can see is the "Arrow" that Ted is seeing also.

If that is the sign, it represents Mercury�´s winged staff - the sign of a messenger. He would have been in a Signals Unit. Patrick

That sounds very interesting, but can you support it by any documented makers marks?. As you can appreciate, I would like to be sure about this.
