Hi folks, This is my very first post on Film-Tech; my apologies in advance if I've messed up at all. I am a university-based researcher and artist with an ongoing project all about film leaders, called Lost Leaders. (I've already done an archival search on these forums, and read some amazing stories.) I'm writing to ask if anyone knows what kind of punch tool was used to make the marks shown in the attached photo (and where I might buy an old one, assuming it's handheld). Could different letters be selected, or were these punches pre-made, like rubber address stamps? ![-](http://www.film-tech.com/uploads/uploads0503/AmanitaPestilens1963.jpg) FWIW, the example shown is from a print of Amanita Pestilens (Canada 1963), courtesy Library and Archives Canada. I'm guessing the marking itself is from a film censor, perhaps East German. Many thanks for your time, Matt
