Hi Larry!

Mr. Riedel is wrong, sorry, but this book "Denkschriften des Germanischen Nationalmuseums" vol. 1, part 2 is only a catalogue of the exhibitions stored at the German National Museum in Nuremberg in 1855, and "Kpfrst." means, there is a copperplate print showing that person in the Museum, don't know, if "P" stands for "position.-nr" ore something else, but when you read the book

you'll see many of these notes

the only exception I found was "Kupferst. v. W. Hartmann", in this case W. Hartmann was the artist who made that "Kupferstich"

Hi Michael:

Thank you! I think the museum must have a copper plate print of that information and that the p 94 and p 95 is where that information is at the museum. Now it makes sense.

Best Regards,
