the link to Rich S site, http://home.earthlink.net/~ttstein/shigenag.jpg remember it now but did not think it looked the same, maybe with some closer pix.

agree with Dr. B looks like a stamp, think more photos are in order, maybe a light bone rubbing to bring out the stamp. blade does look to have some nice activity, interesting.
