Default Jim, Can you help me again?

I was wondering if you might help with this one. It resembles a Medical or Payroll sword from The Civil War era but it is not exactly like any I find.
It also resembles some fraternal types but again not an exact match to any I have found.The hilt material is bone or ivory and the hardware is brass with a siverish patina. The blade is long and narrow yet pretty strong and well made ,unfortuanatly it is broke off at the tip so it is only about 25 inches long. There are no makers marks that I can find. I bought it to put a new point on it ,perhaps even cut it down to about a 12 inch side knife size just because I thought it was an interesting hilt
Thanks for any help or thoughts on this one
