Double mortised complex caligraphic initials…

I’m looking to identify this font.

60 point.

I’ve searched McGrew.

I’m also missing the M just in case there is someone out there that will sell one or perhaps sell their font of this type.

These were called, “Broadway Monograms” and can be seen in the 1941 ATF specimen book, on page 190. Sorry, but I looked at my font and I don’t have an extra M.
These were cast on a 60 pt. mortised body with smaller 24 pt. initials that fit into the mortises. One each of the larger initial and two each of the smaller ones, per font.

There is an incomplete set of these on e-Bay, right now, missing C, N, V. Three others are damaged, but it has an M initial & a complete set of the 24 pt. initials. This would be a good fit for your set.
