You are most welcome David, it was certainly my pleasure as it is always exciting to see examples which can benefit us all by adding to the material. As can be seen by the thread on trademarks, there is profound interest in this topic, however not a great deal of new material forthcoming. It is good to see the thread at least standing as a well travelled resource.

Intricrate is a very good description when it comes to these magic numbers, and I hope that you will share the results of your findings here as well. As with most serious research on arms, answers are often found in remarkably obscure and seemingly unrelated resources, and regarding the nature and symbolism of markings, seldom touched on in standard references.

All the very best,
Jim
