[QUOTE="sabre123, post: 389797, member: 8258"]Sorry for the late reply. First, thanks everyone for taking a look as well as the warm welcome! I appreciate it. I'm on my phone, so I may lose my place a little in the thread replies. It does seem reasonable that it's more of a name stamp than a formal signature. Like I said, the shield and anchors kind of had me thinking (hoping) military. Yes, I've backed out the thumbscrew. I wanted to see if the type came out. Doesn't. It's stuck hard. There are spacers to center the type in the slot, more so on the opposite side of the screw. Nothing on the handle at all. The letters do stick out about 1-16" to 1/8" from the design. You'd really need to press and roll around to get that to print. Appreciate that auction link for the knife. That script lettering was very popular and shares some similarities with the stamp. Again, I appreciate the comments and I'm thrilled that I found such an active and welcoming forum.[/QUOTE]
