Spanish Model 1840 Cavalry Sword ?

The best that I can come up with is a Spanish 1840 cavalry sword, but based on the few examples that I could find, there are some glaring discrepancies; The handle looks to be leather with copper wires, not ray skin with brass wires.The blade looks unlike the examples that I viewed, and the obvious, an extremely long and heavy sword, marked "Artillery."
So I'm not sure if this is a newer sword(21st century), or a modern copy.Any help would be appreciated.
