There is no secret formula but here is a start:
1) Mantle signs in the most presentable location on the piece
2) there is always an upward slant with mantle higher than mickey
3) Ey is always a smaller size
4) Le has a slight downward angle change
5) Top part of c is constructed first, then doubled back to complete the circle
If you follow these rules, and then identify the look of the marino fakes, you're halfway there.
