    Thank you.

    So far I have IB, JB, and JR, and TR ... These monograms sure can be difficult! ;)

    It could be I or J. A look at some copperplate capitals might decide the case.

    I see TB. But then, I can't imagine how the 'I' would look in this same monogram. They are difficult.

    And I see TB. :p I think if the letters are not on top of each other to form a single design it's not really a monogram. These are just initials, albeit in the sort of florid script used for monograms.

    Calligraphy is, or rather was, a hobby of mine, and that is JB.

    I don't think that script is calligraphy..... imo.;)

    LOL @Rob Langdon! You ask for help on the script and get at least 6 different answers. If it can't be read, what's the point? Is that a brass button? My Dad had a classic blue blazer with brass buttons and he had one engraved with his initials. I still have it and the initials are easy to read.

    Thank you all for your replies. I am pretty well convinced that it is "IB."
