thanks for the kind compliment on the bag the border stamp is a berry king stamp all you do is scribe you a light line and place the edge of the tool along the line. and yes thoese are stamped letters due to the fact that i went a little overboard on the tooling and const of the bag and the customer didnt want to pay for carved letters. i would perfered to have carved them as the signature briefcase i post the name on the front of it is the customers signature off her check again thanks for the nice comment john
