Fold down guard. Centre of Percussion marked on the spine.

Proof disc features a 6 pointed star formed of thick wavy rays, surrounded by PROVED. This is usually attributed to Thurkle blades. 

Maynard and Harris became Maynard, Harris & Grice in 1860. Fold down guards fell out of fashion in the 1860s, which would place this sword around that date.
