Result of examination:

Q55 through Q57 were not identified in the Anonymous Letter File. Representative copies of these specimens have been added to this file for future reference.

No watermarks, indented writing or other features were found on Q55 through Q57 which would be of value in determining the source of these specimens.

The typewriting on Q55 through Q57 resembles a style of type manufactured by the Ransmayer-Rodrian Company of West Germany. This style of type may appear on typewriters under the brand names ARC, Adler as well as other brand names.

The submitted evidence was photographed and will be returned with the fingerprint report.
