John, a photo of the mark would sure help us help you. Your item is probably American, and the mark of the E. A. Bliss Co. of Connecticut is similar to what you describe....a large "A" with a small "E" to the left that could be mistaken for a sword handle, and "Co" to the right of the A. Bliss was in business in the late 1800s and made sterling items.
Try to get a closeup photo of the mark and post it on the hallmarks section of this site.
Thanks for joining us.
