London Silver Hilted Swords by Leslie Southwich, apparently a very comprehensive work. It may be some help with this and future purchaes.
If you have trouble finding a copy let me know I may be able to help.

Hi Gav,
The author is Leslie Southwick, an absolutely outstanding reference, and a great resource to add above the venerable "Swords for Sea Service" by May & Annis (2 vol.) which compiled one of the great resources for English makers. It remains valuable, though numerous entries have seen been revised and reevaluated over the years, but a sound benchmark.
The Southwick reference takes it up many steps with the addition of the silver workers.
I wish I had my copy with me...couldnt smuggle it into the bookmobile during the great exodus

All the best,
Jim
