MOST OF THESE I HAVE SEEN HAVE BEEN THE SHORTER MORE COMMON HUNTING SWORDS. THIS ONE LOOKS TO BE A FULL SIZE SWORD BUT SHOWS THE AGE AND ENGRAVINGS I ASSOCIATE WITH THE ENGLISH HUNTING SWORDS.
IT LOOKS LIKE AN AUTHENTIC GOOD QUALITY SWORD TO ME AND COMPLETE WITH SCABBARD. ITS NOT MY FIELD BUT I AM SURE SOMEONE WILL COME ALONG SOON TO HELP YOU WITH MORE INFORMATION. A VERY NICE SWORD.

HERE IS A PICTURE OF SOME SIMILAR SWORDS THESE ARE POLISH. I THINK YOURS MAY BE FROM ANOTHER COUNTRY.

Thanks VANDOO, I think you are spot on .It looks to me to be a reconfigured sword.The blade measures approx. 26" long,it has been re-tipped into a spear point and about a third of it has a sharpened "false edge," on the backside.
