Can Anyone Tell Me What These Initials Are?

Hi...I just realised I spelt your name wrong!

Sorry.

Thank you everybody for your replies. My family surnames include Ruscoe and Rathbone, so I am pleased that you think the last letter is an R. The fob comes from that side of the family, I am inclined towards the Ruscoes as I don't think the Rathbones would have had the money for such things!

However I willl now have to investigate a bit further as I can't think who would have had HC as their first names. There is a Henry, but as far as I am aware he didn't have a middle name.

Thanks again.

It could possibly be TCR, where the C has 2 downstrokes to make up for its otherwise simple form, and the first downstroke doesn't have flourishes like the other letters.
I can't see a bridging line to make and H of the first letter.

Looking again, I think Colin might be right about the first letter not being an H.  What I thought was a cross-line is actually a scratch in the silver.

I've gone over each of the engraved lines with a different colour.  This doesn't necessarily mean that one colour = one letter, I just thought it might make it easier for people to sort out all the different curlicues 

Cheers

Nicely done Prue.

What I see is the Yellow line as part of the flourishing R, which leaves the purple C shape in the middle to join up with the red C.

I think the purple "C" should be a separate colour, actually, now that I look at it...the flourish out to the left of the "R" ends where the top curl of the "C" begins.

Still, I'm glad you think it has helped! 

[Pippakit]

Wow, thanks Prue! The colours certainly make it much easier to see the letters.

I can see what you mean Colin about the first letter being a T. This was actually my first thought when I got this fob - either a J or a T.

It gives me more food for thought as to who it might have belonged to.

Thank you everybody for your input.

That helps a lot Prue.   
I still think it's H R S. Also, I think the central R is larger and probably the family name, with the H S as given names.
