Mexican cutlass
This is another example of the cavalry three bar hilt saber, but with heavy, shorter blade which is tempting to associate with the earlier espada anchas, but seems colloquially termed 'cutlass'. While these seem pretty uncommon, they fall into same contexts as the Civil War type cavalry sabers, and have the 'liberty hat' symbol and RM, Republic of Mexico.
It is unclear which forces might have used these, and as yet no direct connection with navy. Regardless, virtually all types of arms of these periods may be viably considered as potentially available for use by virtually any faction.
