Is it just my eyes or are your pictures seriously out of focus? Can we see a picture of the monogram Dan please. Caithness, if marked usually has the whole word Caithness etched on the bottom unless its a second and then its CIIG, also the bases don't tend to be polished flat.

I think Caithness too. I have a little collection of five with examples of that colouring and shape-ish. Only one of them is marked Caithness underneath, and its almost invisible.

I just tried to take some pics but not good in artificial light. I'll do them tomorrow. When I say 'not good' I don't mean as bad as the above Big Laughter

I'm sorry Dave I'm not exactly sure what that means Embarrassed All the bases are smooth and shiny with maybe some slight dimples in the smooth shininess Shrugs Does that sound polished?

I really don't know? They look smoother, curvier and less 'cut-off' than that as far as I can tell?

Insane But I'm also thinking Mdina now - could the monogram say that?
