Yokozuna Pillar of the Community United States 4618 Posts	Posted 10/14/2020 12:35 am Looks like a finger or palmprint on the left and graffiti around the date. It could have been done with a fine ballpoint pen or needle. The scratches seem to stop at the edges of the devices and then start again. Just Post Strike Damage.

Spence Moderator United States 34419 Posts	Posted 10/14/2020 12:40 am I definitely see the fingerprint and the graffiti mentioned by @yoko, but will need a close-up to check for doubling on IGWT.
