Punctim Transcription, anyone any good?
#1
Salve,

I can't make heads or tails of this ownership inscription. Is anyone any good at translating it? M.Bishops newest book touches on soldiers inscribing their equipment, and has some similar style examples, but unfortunately without long translations. It seems that some of them are more clear to read than others, which in a way seem to look more like Roman Cursive (or writing) than block letters.

In terms of orientation it is the way it is pictured...or perhaps upside down. The sequence is correct.

Regards
