Koen - This guy is a real gallows freak isn't he?
To me these are the best replicas of a VMS gallows in this thread because IMHO SIZE MATTERS!
Is signature guy the same as the scribe though?
I agree with your comment to JKP, which is why I was trying to narrow down a type of script/letters/abbreviation to give a proper VMS gallows, rather than randomly searching through thousands of documents.
This approach could also show an evolution of the gallows and indicate a possible place/time, rather than hypothesising a single creative jump.
This is the sort of thing I was talking about (Capelli)
