Help identifying inscription...
« on: April 01, 2009, 09:54:43 PM »
I was recently shown a 1785-1795 Reading related rifle.  Under the barrel, at the muzzle, the owner found a small strip of laid paper on which was written in pencil the following inscription:
"Vyisder Zomeny Moore horziz azzes den der iz horzzes"
Any ideas?
"Sarcasm: The last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded."

They were very philosophical in Reading ;)

It's phonetic 101.  If you can read the last part of the sentence, you should be able to figure out the first part without any help.
