you may have already looked at the main replacements site (States based), but if not then worth trying.      http://www.replacements.com/crystal/WATIMG01.htm    which more likely to provide patterns from the last few decades. 

The word Hallmarks is reserved, usually, for precious metals rather than glass, where it's more correct to say 'backstamp'.
I always think Waterford's rather gothic script attractive, but as you say it doesn't make for easy legibility. :)

It's worth checking out ARAGLIN as the possible pattern.  I have a kindle version of James Connelly book on Waterford patterns, which shows it to be very similar.  Cheers, Iain.
