This is the sling I made for my brother, along with some glandes that I fashioned out of clay for him.

Tolkien. My brother and I have been huge fans since we were children, and my brother has used the "G" rune to sign things before.

Easily recognizable... It can also be seen on many fireworks that have been displayed, to great glee, in various environs of Middle-Earth. Tolkien wasis the very best.

Good to see a slinger from Hungary! I've been to Hungary three times, first back in '99, and then '01 & '02. Beautiful country. The first time I stayed at the Word of Life institute in Toalmas, and the second two times I stayed in Budapest. Wish I spoke hungarian so I could write in that for you, but it is a very dificult language that I was unable to pick up much of

No one has got the first clue what values the originators applied to which symbol.
