What is this sword? Possibly British 1800s ...

The 1842 muskets that were sold to the North and South during the American Civil War were converted to percussion before entering service. In 1861 whe the war started, both sides purchased whatever weapons were available on the market, even substandard junk, which was to be refurbished before entering service.

However, as much as I like talking about muskets, this thread is digressing away from swords.
