Alex,
Opening an old/very old thread once more:-).
Hindu Arms and Ritual by Robert Elgood, page 107 the column to the right.
"The Marathas marked the trident on their swords and canon in honour of Durga...."
I cant say it is a Maratha blade, but in these parts some blades were marked with a katar, as far as I know.
