Micah,

I was holding off, hoping someone with information would hop in, because I have never seen this one before.  I'm no expert on the police swords, but my feel  is that most of these were made before WWII or in the 1930's and there were many makers in those years with logo not in the books.   There is another possibility that it was a Buddhist or religious marking for good luck, too. 

 

Very nice police sword, by the way!  How about pics of the backstrap for curiosity sake?
