<p>[QUOTE=&quot;BRandM, post: 1852196, member: 22729&quot;]Thanks for checking in Morgandude. Generally when you&#039;re trying to attribute a counterstamp you can almost always discount a woman issuer. Counterstamps by females are <i>extremely</i> rare although there are a small number known. Their personal &quot;pocket pieces&quot; if you will are more likely to be engraved love tokens attached to some type of jewelry. Another characteristic would be the use of a full first name. In was very common in those days for men to use initials in place of their first and middle names, but almost never women. Women&#039;s stamps also tend to be a bit more refined. Loveless&#039; is hand-struck with individual punches and fairly crude.</p><p><br /></p><p>Having said all that, you&#039;re probably right...it will turn out to be a woman&#039;s counterstamp.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Bruce[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
