Thanks Glen, I was hoping you would enter on this as your knowledge on these American swords is of course well established here. A similar example appears on p.212 of Peterson, "Silver Hilted Swords" in "The American Sword".

I used to have the same sword. It is a british 'coutau' style, made by Wilkisnson during the last decades (before they shut off the gates of course), as it was signed with the crest of queen Elizabeth II. Probably to commemorate an occasion of some sort. The grip was made of imitation ivory and all the metal parts were of silver plated grey metal.
