Hi Gene, much obliged for your input.

Late XVIII century suits me good. I allways fall for antiquity, before all other considerations.
But this ambiguity of the provenance being Southern European in general or Spanish but also possibly Italian, is a saga for my demanding (read maniac) character. I already have to deal with the Iberian number, due to my geographical context, which is itself an invoice, on what touches provenance specifity.
But well, you can't win them all

Thanks again
Fernando
