Hi, I was hoping for some help on the attached image. (Presuming it attached, on mobile this is problematic). I believe it to be an infantry sword from the Cromwellian era. I'm hoping the marking provides more info. Many thanks Duncan Attachments:![20240616_191311.jpg](//storage.forums.net/1694914/thumbnailer/frYVhTImoJbhPccEGlQU.png)

The whole would be helpful, but I think it's a "birmingham fox", mark for Samuel Harvey Birmingham - therefore the SH. Does it have brass grip?

Does it have brass grip? I concur with that being a Samuel Harvey running fox, which would unambiguously date the piece to 1750 or later. It's therefore at least a century later than Cromwell. Do a search on "Samuel Harvey Birmingham" and you'll see a large number of hangers, cutlasses, basket hilts, etc. for sale, with similar markings. May we please see photos of the entire sword?
