La Espada

I need help in trying to identify a sword I recently purchased. It looks old and is quite heavy. I have tried several times to attach the photos to this thread but have failed. It looks like a Roman short sword and is in a black leather sheath. The handle is a dark metal color and it looks like it has a rounded tile roof all around. At the butt of handle on either side is a stamped eagle with 3 arrows in it's claws. The blade is a silver color with a smaller eagle/bird stamped near the handle and on the other side the no. 1841 and below that WS. I'm very curious to find out a little bit more about it with some help. Maybe I can e-mail the pictures to someone who can then post them? I'm sorry for my lack of experience at the comp.

In hopes that someone is as curious as I,

Citlali.
