WERT, this is the engravers signature (Gerald Trottier) a few other Canadian stamps from this time period also show similar signature. (Canada # 379)  |

My father, Gerald Trottier, is the designer for this stamp and several other Canadian stamps (including the only Canada-US stamp). You can see more information on this artist at www.geraldtrottier.ca |

Denise- Many thanks to your father for the great work and contributions to Canadian stamps. I can only imagine the work that goes into engraving and with that level of talent what else he may have created. Its an honor having you post with us. |

Doesn't it make you yearn for the days when you could edit the title to reflect the thread's new-found focus, namely, engraver Gerald Trottier. |
