Hi Jim,
Found it!!! Andrew Mowbray The American eagle-Pommel Sword 1988 Pg 58.
Hi Glen,
Interesting Specimen. Gustavus III issued a number of these swords (or very similar) as swords of honour after the war between Russia and Finland (1788-1790). It is rumoured that the masons assisted Gustavus mount a coup d'etat against the Swedish Riksdag (parliament).
All the Best
