CC, I think that H on the guard might just be a marking convention used by Hollier, but I havent found specific reference to verify.
Hi Jim,

I have been looking as well and have not found another H like that but I did find this link which will take you to another Hollier with the full name used as a mark. Interesting comparison between Brit cutlasses and the US Starr 1808. Looks earlier but makes me think H may not be Hollier after all.

Hey Capn, this cutlass not in my collection unfortunately but a lot nearer you. The pictures from a dealer in the US - his private collection, so not yet for sale!
