Hello Pertinax , I have a few George V swords here and some with different Rulers Cyphers on the blades...and some with different capital letters on the stub on the blade test mark.My examples also have the I Beam either side of the Fuller ...Cavalry Swords in the 1820s had a massive fuller running to a spear point but from the end of the fuller to the point...about 12 inches of blade was raised as a central ridge . I often read of swords being too bendy at the foible caused by having no raised central ridge ... this mistake is common on many 19thC. examples.
Regards
Peter Hudson.
