Thanks David,
I take all info with a grain of salt, and ya some of the forging I have seen on FiF is very questionable, to say the least .
as for the marks on my Iban swords blade I feel maybe there was one initial or symbol before the G., the remaining marks I would guess was 4 digits, a date...
some how only the G remains visible, which makes me think the markings may have been applied at different times.
