Fellows -

Somewhere I remember reading that the Siamese Luger proof mark was a stylized Lion head, rather than an entire Lion. So with that in mind, it is still difficult to visualize what it is supposed to be, but it is possible.

Think about the long dragon costume you see in a Chinese New Year's parade and the type of Lion-like head you see on the "dragon." It is something like that.

Here is a drawing I made that closely approximates the proof mark. I did mess up the beard on the chin a little bit (I am certainly no artist), but I think if you compare this to the proof mark, you will be able to see it too.
