In looking at this sword I cannot help thinking of Arabia. The stamp in the blade seems characteristic of British associated outfitters in the latter 19th to modern times. It seems there were such outfitters quite prevalent in Arabia in the Gulf of Aden regions of Yemen during the British occupation there, and I wonder if this piece might have been made there.
