Typeface Identification

I found this face mixed in a case of Typo Script. It is quite similar in style and any help identifying it would be appreciated. Could not find it in Mac McGrew so possibly pre 1900. Pin mark is just an empty circle. Type has 2 nicks in its bottom half.
Thanks for your help.

I downloaded your image, reversed it and manipulated the brightness and contrast, but there is only so much even an expert (which I am NOT) can do. It kinda looks a little like Broad-Stroke Cursive to me. Would it be easier to search for if it were locked up and had an impression run from it?

Could it be Commercial Script? I have three sizes in this face and will check mine tomorrow. Bob

Bunch of very similar letters but it’s not Commercial script. Particularly note the M X and Z.

To me the strange thing about that type is that its on a normal square body, not on a special angled body. How many of those kerns will break off during printing? I’d rather stick to Stephenson Blake’s Palace or Society Scripts even though its very fiddly to set. And the spaces are unique to the face!
