Dear Jim
I should like to thank you very much for the interest which you have shown and expressed in your comment and also in your research about this sword. I would like to focus on the the cross symbol .
There are a multitude of differents types and I ‘m not sure but It seems to me that this cross could be a cross Moline also called “French croix ancrée”.
See below some exemplar I have found.
Best
Jean-Luc
