In studies of high energy $pp$ and $\bar pp$ scattering, the odd (under crossing) forward scattering amplitude accounts for the difference between the $pp$ and $\bar pp$ cross sections. Typically, it is taken as $f_-=-\frac{p}{4\pi}Ds^{\alpha-1}e^{i\pi(1-\alpha)/2}$ ($\alpha\sim 0.5$), which has $\Delta\sigma, \Delta\rho\to0$ as $s\to\infty$, where $\rho$ is the ratio of the real to the imaginary portion of the forward scattering amplitude. However, the odd-signatured amplitude can have in principle a strikingly different behavior, ranging from having $\Delta\sigma\to$non-zero constant to having $\Delta\sigma \to \ln s/s_0$ as $s\to\infty$, the maximal behavior allowed by analyticity and the Froissart bound. We reanalyze high energy $pp$ and $\bar pp$ scattering data, using new analyticity constraints, in order to put new and precise limits on the magnitude of ``odderon'' amplitudes.
