Yes, listed as a Danish M1801 CHAUSSEUR Lion Head Short Sword. I'll look for my Danish bookmark but I forget how I flagged it. I believe it was posted here somewhere as a museum link.

Cheers

Thanks, Glenn! Found this one with a general search. Although used by infantry, others had naval usage, as pointed out and apparently well documented in May's monumental "Swords for Sea service".
