I'm beginning to understand the vastness of your collection. Can he do European notes too?
Gorgeous machine! I have written Svend with a link to this conversation, so he knows what I'm talking about, when I call him in a day or two.
Yes he could do any bank note engraving. Also has a massive collection of antique band notes.
He said this about the JHS die I posted above. He wasn't sure it could produce the Borsalino liner also posted above. He seems to think it might be hand engraved.
JHS Die.

"Your die in the last image is more like a letter block type surface piece
The Borsalino printing looks almost like it was made from an etching plate or engraving
We actually used to print engravings here on silk at one time- silk takes engravings beautifully and shows all of the linework
I would have to look at it close up to tell yes or no"
He said this about the JHS gilded liner.

"That gold portion looks like it’s more of a 3 dimensional stamping- almost like a sculpture engraving die
That would be a deeply cut die and you’d have to be very careful stamping it
It’s very easy to mess up stamping something like this
Looks like they had specialty guys or gals just to do this stamping work at one time

Probably what they are doing in this JHS photo.
