General Officer's Sword

Hi all, Jim has requested that I post photos of items in my collection, so here is another one; I hope that it is if some interest. I believe that the crossed sword and baton indicate that it is a General Officer's Sword. An enthusiastic batman seems to have polished the blade so much that the etching on it is hard to make out. I was told that it may date from the 1820's. Any information will be gratefully received.

P S. Jim, I have 120 items in my collection, so posting photos of them all may take a little time!
