Court Sword; may be William 4th?

Beautifully described on court swords Mark!! This I agree is of early 19th century and those ligature type cyphers are indeed maddening!!! To me they're like trying to unravel my extension cords...auughh!
This is especially nice having the royal cypher on the guard, and I believe is William the IV, who reigned only until Queen Victoria in 1837.
Prosser is an extremely desirable maker who produced high quality swords for officers and high ranking officials as seen here.

All the best,
Jim
