Question Unknown Short Sword Or Big Knife

I can't remember if I have ever posted this item before or not so if I have please remove this. This short sword or knife shows some age but I cannot place when or where it is from. The blade has a 4-1/2" unsharpened false edge. The guard is either red brass or copper. The grip is horn and the fittings are brass. The tang goes all the way through the hilt and is riveted over. The scabbard is leather but missing the drag and the band at the throat with the retaining loop but still has the original frog. Any help in identifying where this is from and of what age it is will be greatly appreciated. Thanks for any help offered.

Blade length 13-1/8"
Blade at widest 1-3/8"
Blade at thickest 3/16"
Hilt length 4-3/4"
