Pattern British Sword?

Just bought this and waiting for it to come in. Some pictures attached. Appears to have a Crowned G?

Appreciate any comments

It doesn't appear to be any of the pattern swords. The 1788 spadroons had a wide variety of guards but the pattern mandated a 32" blade so it's not one of those.
Of course there were a huge range of regimental and militia swords that did not conform to the patterns so it could certainly be one of those.
A straight backsword blade, looking to be quite broad but not overly long with a simple knuckle bow hand guard makes me think of pioneer swords and similar.

Hopefully someone with an idea of what it actually is may chime in.

Thank you Robert. Could this be an infantry hanger given its dimensions? If you google 1780 British Infantry hanger something similar comes up.
