Pirate sword or chinese Dha?

Thanks, the leather scabbard is also a bit odd, not DHA-like at all… When I first got it, it had a short hairy brown animal fur on the outside, mostly fallen off though. It's now quite bare. The seam on the centre of the back (?) side is well sewn in an XXXXXXX pattern. Probably a later owner's addition, as is the blue/white/red paracord suspension I've added, so I could hang it on a hook. I note that when worn on the left side, the seam is facing away from the body. Made for a southpaw?
