Hex Monogram Type ID & info
Hi all, I just received this type and was wondering if anyone would have any information on it. I don’t think it’s a printing press type, but I could be wrong.
Thanks in advance!

Looks to me like ATF Diamond Combination Monograms:

Also I see Fifth Avenue Combinations Initials in your photos as well:

…but those bodies were not cast on ATF’s Barth casting machines (or the Typefounders of Chicago Kustermans either).
Did the mats survive the ATF auction, or was the face electroplate-pirated?
