Warranted 1796 Sword

Friends,
Once again I climb the learning curve of posting on this forum to seek expert insights on a sword I recently acquired. It is certainly a model of 1796 British light cavalry sword in overall nice shape. I bought it because it presents a nice etched panel saying "Tomlinson&Co, Warranted Never to Fail" I assumed that research on this mark would be easy, but searching has revealed very little. I am sure that panel is legitmate, but I wonder why there seems to be so little on these warrants and nothing on Tomlinson.
I will appreciate the groups insightful wisdom
Peter
