I am now in your camp and believe (at this time) the stamp is real and correct. After reading your post I went back and did a more thorough review of N’s stamps and find on page 56, far right center a pull where he crosses a scroll line with his N and on the other side the vertical line of the L crosses and is on top of the scroll line. Never say never.
I believer further conclusive proof is the stamp itself. I notice the dropped period between the D and N, also the larger space between those two letters of the stamp. The pulls in this book show these same anomalies in his straight line stamp.
In a former life I was a welder and often was required to identify my welds with a stamp so, I know of which you speak.
I think this is a great learning debate, forcing me to look at details of things I don’t come across every day. Thanks go to you and everybody who are supplying input.

Sometimes it just boils down to the fact that these guys were only human. You look at the beautiful scrollwork and think how could someone engrave like that and then double strike a stamp? Believe me it is easier than you think.
