504big Posted April 22, 2012 at 07:25 PM Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 at 07:25 PM This is my first post, so bear with me. Can anyone translate this mark. I belive it is a cyclical date followwed by a two charcter name and "hall made". My educated guess is , "She liu jia shen _ _ tang chih' OR " May(snake) 6th of the dragon year _ _ hall made." Any help would be appreciated!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
