Help to identifying a type of (British) sword

Yes indeed, it's a Wilkinson "superior steel test mark" for British swords.
I do not know if there is a lead in the star because I did not buy this lot. Personally I was interested in the scabbard because I have a Napoleonic officer sword AN IX and I was looking for this rare scabbard. I think this lot was too expensive for me ..... But actually, in the picture we can see letters in the center of this star.
