Is it possible to have a more up-close photo of the boat trade-mark?

Still no luck finding that item I spoke of. It was an auction page from several years ago and I can't even remember the company name. Stumbled on it quite by accident. Still looking. Nothing in the standard naval sources...Rankin, Gilkerson, Annis, May, etc.

Thank you for trying Mark, it seems like this came up when we last discussed this sword some time ago. Its one of those marks that instantly prompts the old 'I know Ive seen that somewhere' dilemma

Dmitry, Im sorry but these images were from BJ's post, and I dont have access to the sword.
