1830s U.S. militia. There were a great many 1826 Bavarian looking swords listed as Mexican and even some in the states. The sabres quite common but some straight, This one marked to Horstmann, in his new NYC shop. The unmarked brass dove head sabres quite ubiquitous. Eagles galore by the 1830s
A Starr 1818 nco at the top of the racks
Santa Anna's troops had briquet
Basically any sword made before the conflict might have been involved.
