Has anyone got the skinny on the current kami marks?

One of the kukris I got in trade recently has a trident and the initials K S on it.
Another has what looks like a cresent moon with marks above it that makes me think of a sunrise or sunset and has the initials S B.
I'm familiar with Kumars six pointed star, but all of the other kami mark's and who they belong to are no longer in my memory.:(
The kami mark's on my "Old Kami Medallion" is the sunrise or sunset, a dagger or cross, the trident, The butterlamp, a kukri, a cresent moon, a full sun, and Kumar's star,
How many of these are current and which mark belongs to which kami?:confused:

I remember the full sun with the four direction marks belonged to Jag and Prem, Kumar's star and Sanu's cross, but that's about it.:rolleyes: :(

This information might help all the new people that we've accumulated recently as well as some of us confused old timers.:)
 
Yvsa - I'll let you answer your own question on the medallion: http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=188964&highlight=medallion A lot of my old bookmarked threads are dead links since BF changed software a while ago, so I had to run a search through the archives for this. Nice pic of the medallion from tulsamal too. I remember wanting to get one of these, but can't for the life of me remember why I never ordered one. :confused:
 
Thanks Carl!!!! I had forgotten all about that post. Problem is though that so many kamis changed their mark's in 2002 I think it was.:(
I was wondering if anyone had a current list? Or perhaps the old list still applies?:confused:
 
The list Dean pointed to at:

http://www.himalayan-imports.com/kami.html#kamis_list

(and mPisi's rough guide below the list)

are as up to date as I know for the Kami marks (though for the devanagari signatures I probably need to put up an actual photo or type them out in devanagari since "'Ku.maa' in devanagari script" probably doesn't help most people much...).

I have tried to indicate some of the different systems each kami has used, but if people here know more up-to-date info, I can update it sometime..
