Well, while I cannot tell you where for sure this is from that scabbard screams Mexico to me. Hopefully others with more knowledge will be here soon with more information than I can offer.
Best, Robert |

I suspect it's of Spanish lineage, Central or South American. The scabbard and the thumb rest are giveaways, and the blade resembles a piece I had a while back.

Thanks for the input. Hopefully, we can get to the bottom of this. The thumb rest is not only found on Spanish swords. They are also on Italian, Portuguese, British Pattern 1908, and, the US "Patton" sword.

When I have seen pictures my first impression was Mexican too. I have seen anothers pieces with this type of sheath.
