Bill Merkel Posted October 11, 2021 Report Share Posted October 11, 2021 It has a helmet-shaped upper bout like lots of pictures of Klotzez. Don't ask me what kind of helmet, it's just what it brings to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

khunsakee Posted November 3, 2021 Report Share Posted November 3, 2021 A few years ago I decided to improve my penmanship by learning to write in this, late, 17th century style of cursive. I feel confident enough to say that, Louis XVI's label and jacobsaunders's label were, absolutely, written be different people; too many inconsistancies. Preceding lower case letters often tail-off to the succeeding letter and, are often written individually or in small groupings of letters, rather than the start-to-finish style, of today. Probably, because they were using a bird's feather, holding a drop of wet ink, to write with and, therefore, had to write much slower than we do today. The "p" in Joseph ends at the "h" and, the "h" starts at, aprox., the middle of the letter? The slants don't match, either. "K", "z", "S" and "M" don't match. I, also, learned to write with my other hand and, although, my dominate hand is neater, a handwriting expert would probably know that the same person did the writing, because, an individual's style of starting, stopping and grouping of letters remains fairly consistent.
