Soldier bust maker id

**chuck303** · 02-13-2016, 01:16 AM

I have been collecting busts etc for awhile now and have never been able to figure out the maker , it seems that its inscribed on The bottom of the marble. Possibly numbered 33 of 34.

Sometimes it may take a different set of eyes to see something I may have missed.. Any help and information is always greatly appreciated

I think it is more likely an inscription done by the original owner.

Looks that way. Don't mess with that and try cleaning it or anything, its not typical and its only the 2nd I have seen like it.

Sometimes you can lay a piece of paper over the inscription and use the side of a led pencil to rub over the paper and it will make a better picture of what is inscribed. Just a thought. Bob

Adrian thank you for your response. After looking again it does look like an inscription of some sort. I will try the graphite and paper.. Maybe it will look more clear on paper. I will not clean it. It seems to be in great shape. I really like the matte green eggshell paint on the helmet. I've seen one other just like it on a dealers website. Seems fairly scarce.
Thank you guys for the help
