Welcome to the forum, napoleon.
Any pictures of such mark?

As noted, it is really hard to identify a marking without seeing it as well as shown with the weapon so proper context can be assessed.

If the mark is inlaid brass, I have seen such floral marks on espada ancha, which are somewhat like hunting hangers of course, but the crown is not seen on these.

Welcome Napoleon, looking forward to pictures!
