Good Day everyone:
I have not been as active as I had hoped to be in the forums as I hoped to be but I hope to change that shortly.
Regardless I bought this today and wanted to share.
I am curious if any one can identify the Crown 13 and B or the company KOLE
Thank you David

"Crown B 13" is an inspection mark (meaning that this sword passed quality control), B = Birmingham Royal Small Arms Factory.
Don't know "KOLE".
"In addition to being efficient, all pole arms were quite nice to look at." - Cherney Berg, A hideous history of weapons, Collier 1963.

Reminiscent of the MOLE maker's stamp, so perhaps a copycat?

Could be spurious markings. The pommel screw with the slot is unusual. Don't know. It appears to be an 1829 pattern hilt.
