Are they "points up" or "points down"? How many points per row are there? How many rows are there? A higher resolution scan would be more helpful.

Ok its points down, I believe it measures 9mm x 13mm, I count 12 x 16 points thinking its an F; but it seams larger. The out line of the Grill fades.

I might send this to be expertized, not sure yet.

Steve what type of image software do you use?

Thanks

I use a program called Irfanview -- the forum had a link to the download around the time I joined and I've been using it ever since.

You can download the software at http://www.irfanview.com/
