I posted this sometime last night to another thread:

I once was a Director of a British PLC company and learned quite a bit about their bureaucratic and idiosyncratic ways.

Virtually every Brit I worked with used their first two initials and then their last name as their “business” name. Therefore, the “E.F. Lavender” and the “M.H. Miller” are EXACTLY the way the Brits sign their name or refer to themselves in business correspondence. They would never sign it “EF Lavender” or “M. Miller” or “M H Miller” or “Eric F. Lavender”.

The spacing and punctuation are EXACTLY CORRECT, based on my experience.

This is one of the first things I looked for to see if it was a fake. Maybe ask Snugs for verification?

Thanks for that info....and why on the ‘alternative’ photo does the K look like a lowercase k? The number 47,6?44....the 6 or 0 looks raised and smudged
