In the interest of science and the arts, I combined and ordered the scanned images into a single pdf which is attached hereto.

Udo, I wanted to join in thanking you so much for taking the time and effort to add this most valuable resource here. As someone obsessed with blade markings for more years than I can accurately say, this reference has been a mainstay for me, and its great to see it made available for those out there either 'new to the game' or without this handy.

It has provided a most important benchmark in the study of markings, and important as we try to identify marks often seen on blades we encounter.

Vilhelmsson, thank you for your entry in streamlining this as well.

Very much appreciated guys!!!

I'm glad to have been able to help you Jim in your never ending search for knowledge. And my thanks too to Wilhelmsson for bringing the pages into the right order.

Brilliant corrado 26, et al.... this is obviously an old book and full of real gems for the weapons enthusiast. I noted at page 9 how the mistake of the fox appeared in this early document and has been repeated down the ages since as the Shotley Bridge mark when it is Samuel Harveys from Birmingham occasionally accompanied by the initial SH inside the Fox.

Did anyone notice that the andrea ferrara mark on pge 72 is noted as the swordmaker under that name workng at bulluna Italy. this goes some way to proving that the man actually existed ?
