IV. Italian Masters. "Gurda".
The Italian masters, in contrast to the Solingen and German masters in general, comparatively rarely branded their blades, and if they did, they usually used small marks of a simple form (Fig. 11), which, as far as is known, belonged to the workshops of the cities of Genoa, Brescia, Milan and Belluno and did not constitute the personal property of certain masters.

P.s. If you have any difficulties with the translation, let me know and I will help.
