Thanks for highlighting these points of interest. Is there any one within this forum who can reveal more on the family markings of these knives, if information is available, perhaps they can be posted both here and in Jim's postings regarding trade markings as well to get a broader overview of this era in knife/sword making history.

many thanks

Gavin

Hi Gav,
Thank you so much for suggesting posting this on the thread on markings! I was just thinking that as I read the thread and then saw your post.
It's really interesting that these marks on the back of the blade are somewhat like the back of some SE Asian weapons, which was just mentioned on the thread on marking of weapons:anthropologically and sociologically ( geez I need a shorter title!) . Anyway, it seems on the SE Asian weapons these marks might be tribal and possibly even, as this, family identifying.

All very best regards,
Jim

Thanks Carlos,

I am very impressed with these links, I will have to study the PDF file a bit closer but I upon a quick look I could not see this knife listed, maybe you can identify it a bit quicker?

Jim, always happy to help where I can, not that I want to wish my working life away but I do often wish I was retired so I could find much more time to offer up more info that I have available for posts. All in good time I guess, as the Balinese say, softly slowly catch the monkey.

All the best forumites
