MY best find but not with M.D. On the handle reads SUUMCULOUE there is lots of stamps & markings all over this sword Crowns,A Night,ship,W.K & C. Looks old maybe back to 1860's but I don't know.Found at the dump. SASQUASH
If its 1860 it looks like someone took care of it. I hope the marks on it will tell and you let us know what it is.
Man all I ever find is rusted pocket knives.
