While discussing this pattern, do you have any information on the lead cutter swords?

I haven't found any makers mark on mine, so the idea of some sort of "Made in Britain" stamp, or perhaps a special makers mark for export use feels possible to me.
The lead cutters aren't anything I'm familiar with. I've never heard of any such here in Sweden.

I was talking about the Swedish navy's scrap mark, sorry of that was a bit unclear.
