While trying to sort out some radio markings recently, I did run across a very informative website related to the British Broad Arrow history of usage. Seems it may have got it's start a few centuries back when it was first used on stone mile posts set up across England. At least as far as the British Broad Arrow is concerned, unauthorized copy of it on any goods is extremely illegal. Not sure about the markings used in other Commonwealth countries, however.
