Dean,,, I used to have that book too, can't remember though [old age?]

I have seen a couple sticks with runes. They were called Narwastocks [Narva]. They were made from a hard wood and seemed thinner. Were they authentic? don't know..
For me the true Wolcowstock will 1st have that wood type. And, usually have carved Lenningrad and / or Wolchow. Some have towns close to Lenningrad carved on them.
