[Other] Unpainted version of VMS

[Bluetoes101]

I can't believe I only just now stumbled on the "blue block", there was a thread from 2016 on here where it seems to have ended with "maybe soap" and debating if there is writing under the paint and if it says "sau" or "sal" (both salt)

I took your images and played with it a bit to bring out the ink, it seems likely the letters were maybe a trick of the paint/vellum unless the "s" "3" shapes are something, but that isn't the part that was being looked at as possible text previously. What is interesting is there does seem to maybe be a clasp in the middle which was briefly discussed in the thread.. unless whoever did it just got a bit wobbly here, and also the yellow sides have pointed tops.. seemingly very deliberate as they are outlined in ink. One feature makes me think book, the other less so... are you able to do anything more with this little section to bring it out? It is f102v2, top middle



Am I missing anything from this rough recreation?
