Your sword blade is German it is a dead ringer for the trade blades that I have seen on kaskaras plus didn't the Austrians control or influence Mexico's government for many years. Below is a portrait of Maximilian.

Hi Louieblades,
Yes I think you are right, I have had some comments about Maximilian on my post on the SFI spanish language forum.
Would you have any photos of similar blades?
Thanks
Matt
(I don't know how to link to that post on SFI)

I was able to resize my pic of this sword. The blade was cut down to about 23".
