Hello Jean -Marc,
I am not an expert on swords but I believe the coat of arms (and signs on the rest of the sword) are partly english, partly French. The coat of arms also exists of 4 combined; I do know the lower left part very well as the crosses are the sign of the Templars!
I believe the stretched out lions above that (crosses-section) are of English origin and the 'Fleur de Li's' (largely depicted on the sword and topright part of ct f arm) are French.
Perhaps this little info may just point you in the right searchdirection?!?!?
Good luck, Wouter
