Thank you Jim for that very detailed information.The dealer that I am looking at buying this from usually has many things that make reference to The Indo-Persia and also several turn of the century British Items as well as items from the late 18th century.The Mark on this sword that I described as a 2 with a period seems to actually be a script mark of some kind,(I believe it to be Middle eastern). The "2" is actually on its side and the Period above it.
Sometimes I wish these things could talk.
I am still debating this purchase so I probably won't get much sleep tonight.

Thank you and everyone again for all your insight
