Hello my esteemed collegues!
I recently purchased a sword on Ebay and was hoping for some help in Identifying it for a guy who lost the sword auction to me, so he can find another one. Long story, but, I am being a really nice winner here by even asking.

Here's the pics!






The last shot there is the "Maker's Mark" on the ricasso.

Thanks for looking, folks, any help will be appreciated.

Murphy,
The blade and the mark make it look like an old Del Tin. Del Tin used a variant of the "Running Wolf" mark on their blades years ago. This spotlight thread shows it (and many other maker's marks): http://www.myArmoury.com/talk/viewtopic.php?t=5585

Is there a timline noted for when Del Tin stopped marking the blades with the wolf? A somewhat related question. Does anyone know how MRL hilted Del Tin blades were marked?
I've such a sword that was hilted by MRL but any marks would seem to be long gone. It's one of the spherical, threaded, hot air balloon pommel swords.

Thanks in advance

Since you are trying to help the other gentleman find another one of these, I might point out that it is a DT 2143. At least, I think so. The pommel in the picture you posted looks a bit short, but I still think it is the same sword (maybe an earlier version or something).
