Can't say for sure, but the cross on the pommel reminds that on the Jerusalem kingdom coat of arms. Wonderful sword, by the way. :)

Though I'm not the specialist in makers' brands, the sign, just on sight, reminds me Georgian emblem - the same is on the flag of this country, in red on white. What kind of sword it is? May we see...
