No this is not a union staff or field officer's sword. Their blades were much wider, often having etching on them.

The hilt type was used well into the 1880s.

This might be an old theatre...

On the mark - no idea, though I do wonder if it was made from American spring leaf or another source.

Most of these I have seen have been attributed to Mindanao, and pictures of men holding them...

I find it interesting that the inner core of the blade is very wavy whereas the edges are shallower and not matching as much.

I agree that this is probably earlier than mid-19c and the smith was a...

Looks like silver wire at the bottom that had a silver band over it. And the top looks like it was a later addition, perhaps the whole wrap is, over the silver wire wrap underneath.

Nice honest...

Here is one of mine. It is ivory, swassa, and silver. Not much of a pamor in the blade. I believe this is from Tawi-Tawi.
