Stewie, I hate to break this news to you, but what you have is an 'owner's mark", not a 'maker's mark". The Maker's Mark has a recessed background and a raised foreground (the lettering). The Owner's Mark is the opposite.
I have both type of stamps:
Maker ..
Owner ..
Here is a discussion on SMC:

I prefer the Owner's Mark. Yours is great, so you did well. Read my link for explanation.

Hello Derek. Read this and you might learn something.
HAND STAMPS
Stamps can be divided into two main types
INTAGLIO Where the letters are cut into the face sunk (as in stamping coins)
INCUSE Where the face is cut in relief

I think that you can use any stamp for a sawback. Apology for the confusion (you need to change your forum name from Planemaker).
Planemaker stamps according to Chris Schwarz and Mazzaglia Tools:

I will check in my book of British Planes later but, from memory, every planemaker I recall uses a stamp like this ..
I see some interesting names there in.

Derek. The Intaglio Lettering (shown below) is suitable for marking end grain on wood, not a hard metal surface.

Stewie, yes, that is the case, as it has been for 100s of years. But I choose not to use one like that on my tools and furniture since the force required is scary.

Hi Stewie,
I've see a few saw brass backs with intaglio stamps, not very common, and as you say, you'd need a pretty big press to do it.

Your's looks good, can you post a link to where you got yours from? Apologies if you've posted it before.

Hi Ray. The guy in charge is Ian Houghton
The cost of my stamp was uk $120.00 + uk $14.00 postal.
With my stamp the outer measurements are 60mm(L) x 30mm(H). The height was governed by the dia of the boss on the end of the piston rod. The 2 lines of text have a combined height of 9mm. That gives me plenty of scope to position the text so it doesn't interfere with the top edge profile of the 19mm brass back.
Send me a pm if you require extra info.
regards Stewie;

If you put a micro bevel on the letters you wont need as much pressure

The stamp was tested on 1.2mm brass over a hardened steel bed. It will be interesting to see if less pressure is required on 1/4" gauge brass back.
