Bernhard H.Holst Posted August 18, 2012 Share Posted August 18, 2012 Hi Jon: German it is not. A guess would be Italian? Bernhard H. Holst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonv Posted August 18, 2012 Author Share Posted August 18, 2012 I was told it might be Polish, but it looked similar to old German script. Maybe Lithuanian(?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Prussian Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Ahja, jetzt geht´s Surely not german. Something baltic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Danner Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 Bernhard's right. It is Italian. The first line starts "Guardaci e ...", which is "look at us and ...", but I can't make out the rest. I can't make out the first word on the second line, but after the comma is "con affetto", or "with affection". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
