Not sure without seeing the mark - but it sounds as if you might be describing a proof mark, rather than a maker's mark. The standard proof mark for black powder shotguns made in Britain and proofed at Birmingham featured crossed somethings (I'm not sure they're swords, but they look something like swords) with a crown at the top between the ends. As a standard shotgun proof mark it should have the letters B P C between the crossed items, in the gaps other than the one with the crown. This mark also appears just with a V opposite the crown, as a view mark, indicating the gun was inspected at the Birmingham proof house.

The crossed curved swords has been the symbol of the Hard Porcelain manufacturer Meissen (Germany) since about 1728. The shape of the crossed swords and / or any symbols between them designate the period. However there are many forgeries. In general one can describe the periods as follows: If the swords are straight then it is pre 1763. If there is a small circle between the lower blades of the two crossed swords you are talking about porcelain made between 1763 and 1774. If there is a small star between the hilts you have a piece from the 1774 to 1815 period. From 1815 to 1924 it is a plain crossed curved swords symbol, and between 1924 and 1934 there is a small dot half way between the tips of the blades. After 1934 it is back to the plain symbol.
