Honestly it may be funny, but I don't know.
It's easy for some to recognize, but I don't know.
Sorry Curtis, but I don't know. ??? :-[ :-[

Maybe S=6. Hopefully a clearer example will turn up some day!

Maybe, but what exactly that means, I'm sorry, but I don't know again.
S = 6, I admit I don't know, and I believe there are more of us.
Find a cleaner piece hard, really hard.

C is for Constantinople, while the other Greek letter is the officina number.

The only uncertainty is, what Greek letter is that?

Apparently Victory is barefoot, one can see three of her left toes!
