    Da Vinci Code et al.

    This comp is some serious code breaking that just might be more suitable to the somewhat cryptic.

    :confused:

    whilst they have their own symbols and secrets, freemasons aren't necessarily clever or good at breaking codes. i think you're confusing them with another organisation!

    I know this is old, but I am going to have a go a this, starting by trying to identify the stamps.

    I am not a stamp collector, but Google is my friend and as such I have identified the first stamp as a Waterlow 1913

    On closer inspection, only the firsst picture actually appears to be a stamp.

    The text to the left reads:
    Twisted are the hands of all creators.
    We have another first.


    and the text under reads:
    Go back in time for the hunter's reward.
    You must find a body that lies in the ground.


    I can see why people have given up on this ;) I dunno how much attention it is going to get, but it is getting a little to start with.

    Found this for Hunter's Reward (notice the ' denoting that it is the reward belonging to a hunter and not a reward for hunters)

    I'm looking at the first couple of lines of text,seeing if the Characters Harry and daughter Charlotte have any significance,either in history,literature etc. Obv there is a Father/Daughter relationship,residing in Devon, after some time spent in London( Regents park bit),in obv quite high/upperclass surroundings.
  • Reading further into the text,we are obv in the timeframe of the Yorkshire Ripper ,, so contemporary to about 1975-1981 ('They havent caught the man in yorkshire yet') and cert post decimilisation (her magazine costs 65 pence)
