I do not see marks that would make them Signatum, but I can tell better when they arrive. Per vendor: Decor can no longer be determined. These are fragments of originally rectangular bronze bars.

What am I gonna do otherwise. But, 3 AM is a bit early, so I bid just enough to win these. </p><p><br /></p><p>Note the vendor said no returns.
