Thanks for the input BTNS......another QVC button.

There is no doubt, now, that the crossed swords mark was carried forward by Carlyle, but since the wording on your button differs from that on mine there must have been changes in the form of the mark over a period of time. It would be helpful in dating and interesting to know when those changes took effect.....but that will be another project.

Thanks for you input. Very helpful!
