Even after much searching I hesitate to make this post because I cant believe a thread doesn't already exist on identifying makers marks on old tools.

Several weeks ago I found a great site with about 150 different makers marks for axes but I cant for the life of me find it now. I've got a bunch of axes, draw knives and chisels with makers marks that I would like to identify. Can anyone suggest any internet resources I can peruse?

Well had a lot of fun going through those links. The Belgium stuff I had already seen and following links I found this one:

http://www.holzwerken.de/museum/hersteller/deutsch.phtml

While this site had a lot of makers marks I got the impression that they were for lots of tools other than axes.

Then found this one which seems to foucs on chisels:
