    Curious why you just don't ask your friend. Wouldn't he be the best scource of any information about it ? Where did he get it, how did he come by it, how long has he had it.......etc. etc. ?
    Before it became Ruprecht, my Porsche was a '70 911 T

    Jack Staggs, a well known 356 mechanic/guru, uses the symbol for his shop in San Clemente, CA. I don't know if he created it or if it originated with him or not.

    See page 17 for more information:

    Thanks for that information...As it turns out Staggs worked on the 356 I purchased- I found the work orders/receipts in my file on the car ; the box of parts were from the previous owner of the 356 who sent it along with some parts and trophies the car had won in SoCal.
