...thank you for starting this thread Jim - it's an interesting sword from a number of angles - the turned wooden grip and pommel, which I think is original, is unusual. The only other I recall seeing like that was owned by Anthony North and is chipped in the same way that affects the pommels of Sudanese daggers.
As I mentioned in another thread, I will be updating The Arms and Armour Society on my research - particularly with regard to markings - in August.
