Commentary

First published in Pellegrini 1951: 316 (no. 17). Autopsied by TIR in October 2014.

Images in Pellegrini 1951: 313 (no. 17) (drawing), IR (photo tav. XLIV,c (above) and drawing) = LIR).

Length 3.5 cm, well visible despite corrosion. As already pointed out by Pellegrini, the strokes are ornamental. At most, a factory mark.
