Hi RS,
thanks for the input, there are similarities, however it seems there is a rigid 'pattern' for West Point and the other military academies. I have searched and have not found it's 'twin'. Apparently the West Point 'pattern' was changed in the 1920's so it is possible that this is the earlier pattern...but cannot find any images to prove/disprove this.
I still feel that this is a British sword with 'colonial' overtones. Should be receiving it soon....perhaps then I will have more to 'go on
