I think those guys might have gotten it wrong. Never saw a British sword with the cypher of Friedrich William III Looks more like a Prussian infantry sabre model/St 1816. Page 290 "Cut and Thrust Weapons" I'm very much inclined to agree with what is stated above. With at first a little bit of confusion on my part because the markings looked to to me to be more like etching, versus the engraving seen on early swords of this type - but also knowing that some early patterns stayed in service for a long time. Best Regards, Fred
