Spence Moderator United States 34424 Posts	Posted 11/08/2020 3:44 pm No prob at all. Looks like @gc steered you even closer, which is really great. The bishops hat at the top of the rev always means Salzburg to me, but it looks like maybe Olmütz also used this symbol. Clearly I need to do a little research of my own.
