Hi Ed,

I have had the same remark from *philip* i will ago " Are you sure there is no white paint behind the 2 Sub words on left ?...

almost certain.. but think that you will find a dial somewhere so i don't have to scratch it ; - )..here some bigger scans where you see that there is a difference in printing technique. Imho the red that goes in my eyes directly to the dial is much sharper und richer rounded laying on top of the dial...



&

besides the redprint technique, the font is also different, one thin and the other thicker and the F doesn't touches the FT and one F is on top longer than the other..



The same logic i posted on VRF in a discussion with M.Pisani..early 1680 red dials : dedicated to Philipp, December 31 2007 at 8:28 AM....Where you already partying at that time ; - )

Let us know what you think.

Enjoy the Sunday, Rgrds.Philipp
