| The Robb Gunter Demo January 26 including a DIY touchmark Im unaware of any central repository for smiths touchmarks in the US other than the USPTO but then I really havent investigated if there are any special "smith" archives\ collections, however if a smith wanted full protection for such a mark they really would need to pursue trademark registration (was a graphic designer, specializing in corporate identities for 30 years) Trademark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Hallmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

United States Patent and Trademark Office A touchmark is a symbol placed into the metal to identify it being made by a particular blacksmith. In or about 1999, one site tried to start a collection of touchmarks. You could add your touchmark free at the beginning, but then it cost $24, $34, $44 for each touchmark listed. Only a few touchmarks were ever listed. How to make a touchmark BP0124 Touchmarks
