G'day Guys,
Having come across a few more examples of Osborn and Gunby marked swords without G stamps, I am once again confident that Osborn and Gunby discontinued the use of the G stamp at some stage. Also, Osborn and Gunby appear to have used a different G stamp than Osborn. The Osborn and Gunby G stamp uses a sans serif type font.
The top two photos are of Osborn and Gunby blades with the sans serif G.
The bottom photo is an Osborn 1803 sword with G stamp with "serifs".
Once again, if you have an Osborn and Gunby sword in your collection, please check it for G stamps and post the result.
Cheers,
Bryce
