Hello BCC,

Yes, I woud appreciate you looking in your Sam Costanza book later this evening.

I would love to add this book to my library but find the used pricing of $ 280-350 a bit high. But will probably "bite the bullet" one day, since this book is out-of-print and will not get any cheaper.

If my BW photo # 6 does not provide enough detail for your use, let me know and I can try to take a better photo and post on the Forum...if you have the M. Reese book (Luger Tips, revised), he has a better photo of this mark on page 55.

If these marks on my BW turn out to be proof marks from a British proof house (maybe the Birminghton house), I assumed they are "old" because they looked old. But maybe the proof mark stamp used was just worn out and gives that old impression...
