Try rubbing some non-permanent ink or shoe polish over the letters, then gently wipe it off!. Some of the ink will remain inside the etching, making it easier to read!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Take it to a jeweller's shop and ask him to read it for you, using his jeweller's "eyeglass"!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
