Help identify this hanger please!

Hello, Can anyone help with identifying this hanger that I recently purchased.
In relic condition it has a cast brass hilt and a curved blade that is just short of 23"- 59cm although this may have been shortened. No markings are visible on the blade due to heavy pitting. The brass quillon (also broken) is stamped with 1 over 1861 date ?? To me this feels older but I would be pleased to hear any comments or views on it.

Thanks,

Mark.
