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.
