Appreciate all suggestions on maker. The front side of the tang has what looks to be some sort of looping line on the bottom, and the backside has what looks like a crest of some sort.

It looks like it "COULD" be, I repeat "COULD" be,
the remains of a "SWORD BRAND" stamp.
SWORD BRAND = CAMILLUS.
Here are a couple of my "SWORD BRAND" stamps.

The bone sure looks Camillus to me. I think you're right Skip.

Thanks! I think I can see some of the Sword stamp as well. Best solution to date!
