Thanks Detlef and Battara!

Thanks again,
Terry

Out of curiosity. Regarding the engravings. If you look very closely does it appear like the marks that made it are scalloped; Smooth; Or a series of very small indentation, very close together?

Yes this was made for tourists and the modern market.

Sorry, forgot to answer your question. Looks to me like hand chiseled to me.
