Without going deeper into references, at the outset I would suggest this to be a hanger from French context in a lid to late 18th c. style. Looking forward to more specific observations of course.

The rooster has been a national symbol of France for ages.

Hello
Here in Argentina it is frequent, known as "espadin or machete" police. The rooster is also a symbol of the police forces Affectionately |

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-
