I have loved these dragons since I was a kid. Since I saw them in the store windows of our local shopping mall as my mom pulled my hand to keep walking because I just wanted to stop and stare. Well I finally got my own, I bought a male and mother peacock colored dragon from a lady who was selling them to raise money for her daughters college expenses. She was very sad to let them go. The male says 1986, and the mother says 1985. Here is my question that I am hoping to get help on. I did tons of research and could not find anything. Handwritten in red on the bottom of both dragons is the initials AD. Does this mean anything? Was there a painter with the initials AD? Or did someone just write on them? Thank-you to anyone that helps 🙂
