Hmmm...when looking at the markings again, you might be correct that this is marked WR, for William the 4th, as you stated. Sometimes those cursive letters just irritate the h### out of me trying to decipher! Had an old basket hilted sword with a later blade with one of these indecipherable cursive marks. To this day, I'm not sure if it was marked WR (William), VR (Victoria Regina) or ER (Edward the 4th)...
