Reminds me of a repurposed pioneer or artillerymans saw back sidearm. The English made stag gripped hunting swords with a saw back, brass D guard, but they were more elegant looking.

Mine is a bit longer, has a leather covered scabbard and a wood hilt with checkered brass fittings. It's rather heavy. Appears to be an earlier model than the straight 1856 version made up to 1900+.
