chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 01/18/2018 06:29 am I've done some looking online for the FG or GF hallmark and have come up empty. Found one that was visually similar but wrong initials. I agree that the 39 is probably the year the stamp was set. The 9 or 6 might be a user identification or possibly month. Who knows. What are some good resources out there that you all would recommend for researching this kind of stuff. Are there any books that every counterstamp researcher can't do without or is everything you need readily available online? Thanks in advance.
