If it were mine I would go with name as per research letter given the request was for name not initials. If the current oval was also the original you might luck out with acid etching to reveal some of the engraving - maybe enough to see if it included an initial or two with the surname or just the surname. If it is a replacement shield then nothing will show. I can’t imagine the factory getting an order for name to be engraved and then only supplying initials. Cheers Jack
