✅ SOLVED Can You Read the Text on this Old Belt? It's driving me crazy!

I've been trying to decipher the marks on this old, vintage belt. It has amazingly soft leather. Made in Italy. But... what does it say before the word "Calf"? Any guesses? Thx!

I can't really make it out either so will go by memory, "genuine calf skin".

It's an abbreviation meaning: If found, please return to Don MacKay.

IDK I'm still going crazy over the fact if the universe is expanding? Then what in the heck is it expanding into

Maybe "grade A" calf ... in fancy letters that make it hard to read?

Lay it on a table and take some pictures in low light with no flash. Then take some with a LED flash light or a desk lamp at different angles. Camera straight on, light at different angles. You might be able to see a color difference where the embossing came off. Another technique is to take a paper towel barely (emphasis on BARELY) dampened and blot where the embossing is / was. Other than that off to google you go looking for pics of mens dress belts.....
