The punishment of branding has a long and painful history, not just in Europe but in the US as well. The most forgiving brand was for first offenses. The offender wore a brightly colored letter on their clothing. Not so lucky the second time around. A hot iron was held onto the offending part of the accused's body. A thief had a hand branded with a T (for thief). A third offense was usually death.
Some crimes though were deemed so horrible that iron branding came with the first punishment. Counterfeiting was one such crime. For printing your own currency you got a large, hot F on your face. (the F stands for forger)
The branding iron was officially used for the last time on a man named Jonathan Walker, who in 1844 had the letters SS (slave stealer) burned into the palm of his right hand.
Except for a mass branding during the Civil War for deserters, branding had just about run its course. There were tales of unlawful branding, vigilante branding, but even these were gone by the 1880s and 1890s.
