"What difference would it make if there was an order found for a c&s. From what you said earlier, couldn't the company just duplicate the chip again and again, no matter what the records show."

In the records we have, they did make a record for new usage of a hot stamp.

"Although you may have a hub mold record for a particular hot stamp. Who is to say the company didn't use the die again for someone else with the same initials."

I am saying they did that. It shows in the records.

"I am not saying they did this but that is what I gathered from what you have said in the past."

There is do doubt they used the same die for other customers. AND, I bet they charged a die charge to each customer for using the same die.
