<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2512841, member: 19463"]This one interested me and I found one I tought was like it but turned out to be somewhat different. G&H lists six types wit the three people mark struck as a single mark and four others where the three bodies are struck separately using three punches that differ from one another. I believe ours is G&H 589 while mine, below, is 586. The easy sign is the combined punch shows two strands of flowing hair right of the right figure while the separate punch version will show separation between punches and three dots around the head of the right figure. Whichever way the three figures were applied, they count as three of the five marks. A note at the bottom of page 185 comments on the finding of additional reverse marks on some examples of these types. Yours has two additional as shown on his list of extras. Cool! My reverse is weak. </p><p>[ATTACH=full]534762[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
