Help with markings and research on Anglo-Indian Wilkinson sword!

Hi All,

I recently landed this at an auction and very keen to understand what the "I Arrow M" with what looks like a faint S underneath it - is it Indian Medical Services...?!

Also, how do I go about doing the research on Wilkinson, keen to know who bought it, constabulary etc.

Lastly, would be very grateful for any beginners tips on cleaning the blade as well as the scabbard! Both seem in good condition but might do with some light cleaning I guess...

Many thanks!
