Hello fellow friends and collectors. I purchased this sword in Springfield M.A. many years ago along with a collection of U.S. rev war era items. I was told by the owners of the estate this sword was also from the U.S. rev war. It is hallmarked Woolley Deakin & Co. on the blade .The handel is solid silver and the grip is one piece solid (elephant ivory). Both sides of the blade are engraved with gold inlay and blueing. The blade is still razor sharp. I have not researched this piece since aquiring it. Can anyone kindly help me with the following questions or any possible information?

1. Could this have been a U.S. Rev war sword, War of 1812 sword or European Napoleonic wars sword ?
2. Could this be a General's sword , Lieutenant's sword or person of higher rank?
3. What type is this hilt? British, French or U.S. ?
4. What model or pattern would this sword be condsidered ?
5. What type of division would this sword be associated to?
