'Rose' Mark on the spine of Solingen blades

[Alex.K]

Hello, I have a sword which was given to me several years ago and based on several posts I assume it is a Solingen sword. Amongst several etching on the sword there is a Half Moon and a Dragon. Can anyone help identify these marking with respect to who the end user(s) were.

Hello Alex, as I've said earlier on one of your other posts showing this sword, I really love the blade on it. Unfortunately the decorations are of the generic Solingen 'talismanic' style popular before the end of the 18th-century, that are not attributable to any specific unit or end user. I've seen them on a number of different blades, mounted on hilts from various countries.
