Any Opinions...???

I went back and looked at the Greg Martin auction listing an saw that the attribution of the presentation piece is to Marcelo Te deAlvear, former president of Argentina, and the monogram reads "MTdeA", although I am hard pressed to make a "T" out of the stylized representation of that letter. That would explain the "DE" on the crossbar of the "A" in the monogram (DE Alvear). But it does, in my opinion, look a bit crude in execution compared to the rest of the monogram, hence my observation in my previous post above.
