Production and assembly marks in wrought iron structures

Literature covers carpentry marks from medieval times to the twentieth century in timber structures, yet information on marks in nineteenth century wrought iron structures is scarce.
This paper elucidates on the iron brand and assembly marks discovered via in situ investigations of early nineteenth century wrought iron structures. The findings of a Belgian structure - which was believed to be produced in UK - are confronted with marks and stamps found back on structures in Germany.
