Thank you for the help in advance! You ae the best!

Everything except the "A" matches Classical Garamond (Bold) and the "A" could have easily been modified by curving the top.

Sabon was the most common then a version of Garamond but like you the "A" never fit. Have you tried looking at drop caps and special characters among your best matches?

Pretty sure Sabon and Classical Garamond are the same font.

The "K" is also separated which it doesn't do in Garamond

Comparing your sample with Classical Garamond, to my eye the "K"s match.

Strange how we used pretty much the same letters but got different results.

Not really. My FindMyFont settings are probably different from yours as well as the roughly 17,000 local fonts that are included in my searching. In addition, I selected only one or two letters on which the search is based even though I selected a longer text string to show the search results.
