That's a very well detailed portrait. I think it is RIC 163 E

 

do you what the difference is between 163 -164?

oki, the only thing i can see looking at helvetica's excel sheets is that 163 has a continuous legend, and 164 appears to have a break in the legend above the bust between the T and I. so i'd say 163 as well.

 

RIC is not consistent about giving a separate number for the split legend but they did here. 164 is listed as very rare while 163 (this) is common.

 

Hello Chris and Doug,

Thank you both for your time and reactions.

Regards,

Eric
