Hi Jim!
I’m also interested in literature in English on Hungarian swords and arms/armour. Unfortunately these are quite rare.

These dot marks seem to appear on a variety of iron and steel items and presumably used to identify production batches (i.e. some sort of batch mark?). I have seen similar dots on cast iron pans in...
