It is heavily Gilded. Does it have a pattern date? I mut say I thought it was earlier than late 19th, but I wasnt sure.
I cant find a picture of one on the net anywhere... |

Not a qualified opinion
Yes, French is the instinctive aproach but ... a few things don't square. Pommel shape, grip cover and anchor ornament, are not the usually seen.
Certainly from the XIX century, possibly from the first quarter to middle. These models usualy last for a while with slight alterations. . |

Have you tried browsing under the French terms "Épée d'officier de Marine" ?. Quite a few pages out there. |

It looks like its a model 1819, and would have had a Triangular section Blade similar to a smallsword type.
Success!!Thanks to everyone for helping!! |
