Chinese sword for comments

I will say that this is the middle - third quarter of the 19th century. I like that the sword has an iron/steel guard and hanging rings connected by a bar. From what I've heard, the scabbard wrapped in wire and coated with black lacquer is typical of the Taiwan Strait coast.

Thank you Ren Ren for your reply,
Thank's a lot for the Taïwan Strait origin for the wires/scabbard.

A thought,
If it was little later 1895-1900 and on the Taiwanese side of the Strait we would call it a japanese sword 😁
