No hallmark but I find it well made,
the steel sounds good and it seems quite old.
shortened fixing langets on the handle
and the handle seems not very recent either with
worm or termite holes.
A central fixing rosette is missing, we can see the remains of gnawed wood through it.( I already used Xylophene 😬😅...)

Looks OK to me. Robust and fit for purpose! The edge looks like it was sharpened which is a good sign. I think the bottom nails came off the langets which left the bottom end flapping, so rather than fixing new nails a previous owner simply cut off the bottoms. The cut off parts left marks on the wood so you know they were there.
