My pesos would be on the first Maria since blade might be inscribed [MARI]A*RAINHA, and not MARIA II*RAINHA.

We don't know what was written before RAINHA, it probably was the full name of the Queen. If this was my sword, I would do an easy search on the Portuguese royalty, to see whether there was a period...
