Somehow I have a tendency to pick weird pieces...
This one seems to be a French Cuirassier blade mounted with a brass masonic hilt and bone grip. It was rather cheap. It will be interesting to see what is etched on the back. 93cm of the blade and 110cm total length. I say masonic, but I suspect in Catholic countries some of these swords were originally in the hands of sculptures of Saint George, Santiago, Archangel Gabriel, Saint Katherine... and other weapon carrying saints.
