If thats the case there is probobly some merit in calling it a walloon-esq Cavalry officers sword.

Can you post measurements and tell us if there are any markings on it at all?

P.S. I'll go back and hit the books and see if there is a similar one anywhere. Between us we must have one like it pictured.

Hi Gene,
No marks whatsoever. Overall it is 37 1/2" (955mm) and the blade is 30 1/2" (775mm). Blade is absolutely straight, both edges blunt (never sharpened by look of it) but tip sharp.
