Without seeing the sword, I doubt it has filigree in the fullers. My bet is on a simple engraving. I also have a feeling that it might have been reforged to give it a slight curvature: sabers usually do not have double edging. Would be interesting to see the inscription: usually those were located closed to the handle, where bending ( and distortion) would be minimal.
