That aside, I doubt that "rack numbers" we know from the Victorian age would have been used in the last half of the 17th century. It strikes me as a stamp that was not cleanly impressed, perhaps indicating that it was one that may have been used on many other weapons before being applied to this hilt, hence the lack of detail. That's all conjecture, of course. I'll try to render the graphic that I see, and I will post it in a bit. Thanks for your input. |
