hello. thank you for taking the time to look at this. it is always much appreciated. anyway, i found "academy engraved LET", which is almost exact, except for a few things: there is no way to fill the letters in. the open look won't work, and second, as close as it is, it's not perfect. the "C" on the one i found doesn't have a serif on the bottom of the "C", only the top, and the original "C" is symmetrical. in this case close doesn't count. any suggestions?
