'Rose' Mark on the spine of Solingen blades

Hello all!

Just a few years late to the thread, here is my humble contribution to this lovely gallery of Solingen marks and decorations.

There are two swords I'd like to share.
The first is a typical French Revolutionary/Napoleonic sword with a helmet/Phrygian cap pommel.
Unfortunately, the hilt on this one has been mangled, although I have the feeling it was done purposefully.

The second is what I think is a Prussian (or other German state) sword that is a sort of clone of a British 1796 spadroon. It has a brass grip and a collapsible half of the guard.
