The etching on the blade has all but been rubbed away but it obviously was etched. Troopers swords were not. Closer examination of the the latter two swords might reveal makers or traders names etched on the ricassos.
No it has no markings on the sword ...
on the second there are some things written on the blade ... I am unable to read entirely !!
for the first it is a copy made in india ???
