With regards to the Monogram I would say that it is RN, with No.43 below.
The serrations on the Blade start just under 7cm from the tip and runs for a length 4cm, finishing 2.7cm from the tip.
The channel in between the grooves is about half the thickness of the Blade deep.
I do agree that is possibly Naval.
Why don't you send some pics to the Maritime Museum Greenwich London and ask if they can throw any light in it? Google should give you a contact point.
