Thank u guys for the info, i tried to search for french and argentina saber or swords. But can't find the exact same sword on internet.

I actually used to own one of these in the past and thought it was French as well. Turns out that it is a South American sword 19th c. I think it was Bolivian and infantry? Police? I can't recall and it's been many years. I wish I could provide the reference, but it took me forever to track it down originally and I can't seem to find the link that took me there back in the day. Sorry

Here we go. Uruguayan police sword. This example doesn't have the rooster, but I've seen both patterns that sometimes do and sometimes not-
