I have a similar blade. It was a Spanish-American war trophy from an American soldier.
You blade is probably circa 1899.

What let you think that the sword is from 1899? I ask because Spunjer think it is not earlier than WW2. Between this both assumptions are 50 years. And what do you think, is it a utility or a personal weapon?
Do you like to show your's?
