Indian Tulwar with "Human Figure?" mark

OK Alex, then the number '4' is out of the question, as inscriptions/marks are seen from the hilt, and this would mean that the number '4' would stand on its head - which is very unlikely.
I really don't know what it is, but should I guess, and I mean guess, then I would say it is a makers mark, or possible an armoury mark - but why on both sides of the blade?

Thanks to everyone for comments, and thanks Jens for confirming "not 4" verdict (very clever, by the way:-). I tend to agree - this is just a mark, maker's, armoury, etc.
