Let's see if a picture gets posted below. Anyway, the two features I focused on are a) that wacky blade--I agree with the seller, it's probably a processional piece, and b) the pommel looks like a pineapple. Since, as I recall, the English went nuts for hothouse pineapples around 18th-19th century, I'd guess that it's English. It might be earlier than Victorian, but that non-functional blade makes me think it's 19th Century.
