Years ago I started a proof mark page for my own use, got side tracked and never finished the research - another project needed completed.
Website not finished: http://proofmarks.tripod.com/
Here's the English: http://proofmarks.tripod.com/englishproofs.html
Take some chaulk and rub the proofmark, blow off the extra for a better picture or lightly rub off chaulk leaving chaulk in markings. New pictures.
A few pepperboxes left from our collection, on the right we have a few left.

Proof Marks can be tricky with the forgery that Belgium was known for in the later years - all about better known makers bring more money $$$.
The marks need to be clearer to really tell what you have Jonathan, for true value you don't guess when trying to figure a price.
