I wonder if the trident & kater mark signifies one of the 560 Indian princly states, that existed alongside the Raj?
Heres the flags of some of them.. linky! & hers a similary marked sword. {personaly I would ignore the territorial provinance, without evidence..} Another linky! Spiral |

The Katar marking was very unclear so I have carefully scrapped the grime from it ....and is clearly a depiction of a ....katar ...almost identical to the link provided above.
So, what does it all mean  , can the blade be dated from these marks? I have tried to photograph the Katar mark but due to the position it is difficult to get a clear pic. worth posting
