When we thought the Hart was a Fendt Bass we were trying to come up with some lettering to make a disc to replace whatever it was that fell out of the Bass originally. In Talking today with Duane Rosengard he agreed that a Disc with Olde English Lettering should go in that space. Either

J.H. (John Hart) or
J.Hart (as he marked his work.) This super fine Bass may have been specially made for an individual that had his name in that Space which is equally possible or even some type of emblem. Since we don't really know and the Space is already there, we need to put something in there if not just a plain Ebony Disc.
This is the space;
This is what we came up with when we thought it was a Fendt;
I am taking suggestions once again concerning what should go in the Space as well as Letter styles.
