Default Silver mounted Georgian hanger.

Hi Guys,
This arrived this morning, an off e-bay purchase, and I have to say I'm delighted and pleasantly surprised. Thinking it was a nice brass mounted hanger imagine my delight when I found it is a solid silver mounted hanger with a cutlers or silversmiths mark discreetly stamped on the guard, better photos of this mark to follow. Although my first love is for Indian Arms and Armour I am finding Georgian swords a fascinating subject, so many variations over quite a long period in our history and an era that shaped so much of todays political geography. Back to the sword, a 26 3/4 inch twin fullered blade 33 inches overall, solid silver guard and lion pommel with a bone or might be ivory? grip and silver wire wrap. The blade is light and flexible and I would say certainly a fighter, whether Navy or Army I don't know. I am aware swords of this type were manufactured in the U.K and U.S. but I am insufficiently knowledgeable to determine which so help needed here as well. Degree of restoration or not suggestions are also required. As always many thanks for all and any replies.
Regards,
Norman.
