Wax stamp or something??

Have you tried to make an impression with it, in blue-tak or similar?

My first guess would be a wax seal stamp, but if so the initials would be backward. SoMonty

LOOKS LIKE A "MAKERS" MARK> WOULD HAVE HAD A WOODEN HANDEL/STRUCK WITH A MALLET. The Wave line with the dot usually indicates the year it was used?
Used by silver& copper "Smiths".
