Hello drac2k. Yes, unfortunately the Austrian sapper's sword I was unable to post. The blade on it was nearly exact, being the gladius pattern, but the hilt was still not a match. Hope we can all solve the mystery!

Thanks M.ELEY, I think we are on the right path; or maybe I'll just do what all of the Old Timers do at Miltaria shows when they don't know what something is............call it" Confederate," LOL.

I like it….
I suspect the key to this might be the handle pins. I feel like I have seen similar screw fittings on some bayonets. N2s |

Hmm, perhaps a varient of this model? (I know. Too short and only slightly similar, but blade shape, securing pins similar. I get a feeling your sword is more of a 'munitions grade', not being insulting, but a field sword, like the pioneer models)
