I want to scratch my name into some of my equipment but am unsure how to make the the letters look like true lower class soldier chicken scratches or dot punches. Whenever I have seen example of Roman hand writing it doesn't look anything like the Roman alphabet I know. It doesn't seem to me that the handwriting appears to share much in common with the chiseled type on monuments.

Any ideas?
