Sword for I.D. and comment

Hi

This sword came with the Spanish/American colonial example that is the subject of another thread. I thought I should also post it for identification and any comments.

Length is approx. 88cm and I can find no marks at all. The double edged blade section (corroded) has a clear flat down the spine, and this along with the two sloping surfaces towards each edge, does make the blade hexagonal. The hilt (damaged) appears to be of brass.

An interesting point is that the blade tip is of a fairly similar rounded profile to the other sword/cutlass posted.

Any information and comments are welcome and thanks in advance.
