THE MARKS ARE TOO UNIFORM TO HAVE BEEN MADE ACCIDENTALY OR IN COMBAT SO MUST HAVE SOME OTHER PURPOSE, MAKERS MARK, DECORATION OR SOMETHING.

THE WORKMANSHIP ON YOUR EXAMPLE IS GOOD AND SHOWS SOME TRUE AGE UNLIKE THE ONES BEING PRODUCED TODAY A LOT OF WHICH COME OUT OF BALI. I CAN'T JUDGE PATINA ON BLADE OR FITTINGS FROM A PICTURE SO CAN ONLY JUDGE WORKMANSHIP. A NICE EXAMPLE CONGRADULATIONS.
