Hi Carlos,

Marsh Bros. & Co was a Sheffield-based cutlery manufacturer who was in business from 1850 through 1947.

While speculative, from the hilt form and scabbard, I would estimate your knife dates from the early-to-mid-3rd quarter to early-4th quarter of the 19th C. Interesting wavy-bladed form, which I would have to think must have been rather uncommon during this period.
