Blade is European (obviously) and my guess is that it is either French or English. The 6 pointed star, which is a British prook mark of some sort, has been copied by many unscrupolous blade makers who were banking on the fact that the Abyssinians loved English stuff. To them "London" meant "the best". The common inscription "Sword of the brave man" (Teru yegobez gurade), for example, sometimes includes the word London that can only be translated as such: The Best Sword of the Brave Man. But that's another story... Bottom line is that the 6 pointed star can be found on blades that are not actually English. I hope all this makes sense to you.
