Not 100% sure of the variety, but it is unmistakably a small or medium letter variety. It clearly shows the wide separation between the letters, as mentioned. Also has the filled A&#039;s which I think are typical of the variety.</font></p><p><font size="4">&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp; </font></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]521322[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]521323[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]521323[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
