Pattern British Sword?

Thanks Wayne,
The slotted hilt on that recalls the M1803 Flank Co. officers sabers.

MG,
That fighting saber is of a type (not official pattern) of these favored by naval officer in early years 1800+ in England. The 'montmorency' cross section on blades on these were favored by Wooley as seen in several examples of that early period (this one Wooley& Deakin, 1801-1803).

With your sword, the blade just reminds me of those type straight blades on the naval cutlasses c.1804, but the back fuller recalls the hanger blades 1740+
