Hi guys is there any in depth info ‘ out there available in regard to crossguard and their makers and the different ones used by various manufacturers from the start to the end of production . I’ve been trying to find good reference online but have been struggling, or is there a good reference book available? Thanks Jimmy.

The Fisher's Quick Reference has 7 pages of cross guard marks with a list of the dagger trademarks associated with each. The marks start on page 58 in my 5th edition copy.

The Fisher's Quick Reference is out of print. I'm pulling together photos of crossguard castor's marks and should have a gallery ready in a few days. If you would like to submit photos, please post them here. Thanks
