Does this also apply to the British sword above, i.e. does this one happen to have a German made blade?
G'day Werecow, in this case it indicates that your sword was made by Henry Osborn around 1796 - 1807. Henry Osborn was a British sword cutler who used the G stamp as some sort of acceptance mark. Sometimes the G was stamped twice like on your sword. There is a thread on it here somewhere. Nothing to do with the GG you sometimes see on later German blades.
Cheers,
Bryce
