The marking appears to be burnt into the wood.
I have not been able to find an anchor device with a caduceus wrapped around the stock as this one is. It also looks like multiple impressions.

This is not a caduceus but a rope. It was stamped twice. I saw this sign a the back of Chinese ceramics for the East India company but i dont remember where... To me it's a good sign of age... really cool... |

Interesting indeed.
 Most fouled anchor devices have the shank and flukes entwined along with the stock. What is the size of the impression? |

This picture somewhat looks like the one on the scabbard.

Talisman
That could be the right insignia.
Since I have an overactive imagination I'll guess that the emblem was burned into the wood with a red hot uniform button. |
