PLEASE HELP INFO NEEDED - MODIFIED VERSION OF THE USC SEAL
HI there - I recently purchased an item that represents the University of Southern California - my item is the USC 1908 metal seal - I have added the USC link which shows illustrations of their school seal
The difference with my item is the words on the seal - my seal reads UNIV. OF SOUTHERN CAL. - it is short form but other than that it is identical to the 1908 USC seal
I contacted USC about my metal seal and they confirmed they had no idea an "modified version" of the school seal existed let alone an actual metal seal was in existance - the seal I have is solid metal round in shape and about 22 grams in weight - the USC does not have an actual metal seal in their collection
My question is - how would I find the other USC 1908 seal to compare to mine if one exsists - and would my item be called an HISTORICAL school item - as from what I could find out - my altered seal wasn't known to USC and maybe (or how would I find out) if it is one of kind?
