This prompted me to try looking up an old family sword marked "Martin & Co. St. Paul St. Montreal"

I have Robson's book which is fantastic. I think I pretty much have the sword nailed down. It's the Pat.1827 guard with the Pat. 1892 blade. The sword is 39" overall length and the blade itself is 33" and 1" wide at the ricasso. It bears the cypher of Geo.V on the right side and the strung bugle on the left. It's in a Pat.1901 scabbard which is overall in pretty good shape except for the drag. I will see if a leather worker buddy can recreate the drag. The blade has a very slight bend to the right. I don't know if this can be corrected but the bend is minor and really doesn't detract much from the very nice condition of the sword.

Yes it can but you may just want to let the new owner do it. I'd do it in a heartbeat but that's just me.

I've done it before and I'm just working out a "how-to" plan. Without a solid Canadian attribution I've decided to keep it and if a nice Canadian one comes into my orbit, I'll put this one on the block. I know a few sword collectors, some new some old, around here who'd be very interested in it.
