As far as I know, "Genoa" is considered one of the possible "parents" of "gurda". According to Lenz "Marks on weapons" and Astvatzaturjan originally such mark was indeed placed on swords from Genoa, however then it was adopted by germans and later copied throughout the word.

The mark here does not seem genuine enough since "jaws" (two eyebrow-like lines) are too schematic. Locally made ?
