That is correct and there are lists for them in reference books.
You should purchase the "Fisher Quick Reference" guide, available on this website: http://www.bookswiwo.com/
It will list them all for you and even place where the areas are on a map. It will also list all dagger makers for those areas and it's filled with a whole bunch of other invaluable information. -
