Thanks but that doesn’t really help. I don’t see anything like the one in the center, far left. I know the others.
Maybe if you temporarily added some definition to the stamps they would be easier to see. One way to bring out any engraving or stamping is to use a piece of old chalkboard chalk like they used when many of us were in school. When rubbed over the metal surface, the chalk helps make any markings much more visible, and it’s easily cleaned up leaving no evidence anything was done. As an example, both the following photographs were taken at about the same distance with the same camera and lighting (handheld, so slight difference). Difference is that before the second photograph chalk was rubbed into the engraving. Believe you can see that one is significantly easier to read than the other. No other adjustments or funny business between the two photographs.Thanks but that doesn’t really help. I don’t see anything like the one in the center, far left.
