As for the marks further up the handle, there appear to be five separate marks, with the bottom being in the shape of a heart. The letters/shapes are difficult to make out, but they appear to be "E" inside the heart, "T" inside the next one, and a "D" inside the third one. The others seem illegible to me.
Any help is greatly appreciated -- as always.
Dave
