You're very welcome Claus,
Ive been looking for more on these double lined markings and these shown on an Indian sword might be close to what we're seeing here.

In the discussion which this image came from (Jens posted a khanda 2005 with 'firangi' blade). It was agreed that most of these were 'Genoa' blades imported into India, and that Indian smiths seldom copied European lettering however I think there were some who did. While they usually did not know English, it would seem that stamps or letters could have been used regardless of knowledge of the language. This two line type inscription seems remarkably similar to yours.
