IIn hoping the photo is visible. I am using an I phone camera. Can you provide an opinion? Thank you * Moved by Staff moved to a more appropriate forum. * Report this Post to the Staff

Bigred72 Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 12:04 am Do you see a DDO slightly and if yes you think there's any significance to it. I know it's not the big one in all the books Report this Post to the Staff

Bigred72 Valued Member United States 121 Posts	Posted 01/13/2019 12:49 am I was under the impression the poor mans DD would be on the bottom right of the dates. And didn't realize they appear on the face. Thank you Report this Post to the Staff
