Hey Mark! I knew this would getcha....I hope you can find that marking...Ive exhausted every source I can think of! but I know things maritime are right up your alley ye scalawag!!!

Norman, Excellent post!! and we've really missed you around here...believe me....these kind of posts with information and substantiation are great......no more 'wet leaves' business......this is outstanding info.

These 'corrugated' ribbed hilts really seem to have gotten wide use, and it seems there was a lot of confusion about customs swords, hospital swords and the elusive mountain artillery gunners swords.

Thanks a lot you guys, maybe we can find something this time

All the best,
Jim
