Ami: I find that a little hard to understand, when there is only 10 months between the two inscriptions. This would have to mean, the book left Bob Owen then became the property of a different Bob Owen(s) I believe the other gentleman's explanation of a "final flourish" makes more sense and if you look closely, it is not an "s" but a downstroke and loop. Really doesn't matter, either way it's a windfall.
