can it be the initial of the first name and "Rainha" the surname? ( I do not think it belonged in the Queen herself!!!)

We don't know what was written before RAINHA, it probably was the full name of the Queen. If this was my sword, I would do an easy search on the Portuguese royalty, to see whether there was a period in the 1700s-early 1800s when a Queen alone ruled Portugal, sans the King.
