I dont think Ive ever seen a Harvey M1796 and Samuel Harvey worked mostly c.1750s into the 80s. His mark was placed on the blade and typically the 'running wolf' with his initials SH.

Alexander, yet another amazing British sword! Congratulations.

All best regards,
Jim

Thank you very much Jim.
The 1796 really is one of 'those' swords isn't it?
The 'peacemaker' of Sabres.

I'm glad you agree with my thoughts on the maker.
I had some free time this afternoon (as you can see).
Here's a composite pic for Alexander, so if he wants he can save it as one file:
