Not the best photos, but you can make out the cartouche and a hint of the rose mark

And this sabre, I have it as German, but the style could be French as well, especially with that carp's tongue point.

Rose and S&K retailers mark.
This rose appears to be different from my S&K marked sabre. Different bladesmith?
