Hello Kai, it could be that there is lamination. But I am not sure. I asked him to take some pics which will be pasted in this thread.

It could be a zero but I am not sure. But I meant I certain had seen a C and not the O like in WOOO

But the mark in the thread Gav refers to seems like the same mark. Only in the kampilan I saw clearly 2 C's in the middle!

I'll come back with pics on this one!

Kind regards,
