Dear Sir/Madam,

I wonder if anyone at The Ringing World could help with an unusual enquiry?

I am currently publishing a brass bell from a shipwreck found off the 
coast of England that dates to the last quarter of the 17th century.

The object has a strange incised marking  on the inside base of the 
bell, as attached. It has been suggested that this might somehow be a 
mark signifying the strike tone. Have you possibly ever seen anything 
like this?

Any light you may be able to shed on this matter would be very 
gratefully received.

Best wishes,

Sean
