I appreciate the extra effort, looking this up. I was in agreement with your statement about needing more attention to detail with cutting this signature. I am glad to know there is a potential sample Mei. Did your research turn up a date range for this particular smith? My cursory glance this morning didn't turn up date ranges.
Appreciate the response, I couldn't make out the 3rd and 4th symbols. I'll do some research, the first symbol seems odd? Not quite complete? What do you think?
