Army yatagan?

I was browsing "Russian Edged Weapons" by Kulinski and I found a similarity between the weapon, which started the thread and a Russian M 1810 hanger,m issued to the lower ranks of the naval artillery. The hilt and scabbard mounts are different, but there was quite a variety within Russian patterns at that time, and Kulinski wrote his book based on the available samples in the Military History Museum of Artillery, Engineer Troops, and Signal Troops. But before we jump to any conclusion, here are the stats from the book:
OAL length: 685 mm
Blade length: 535 mm
If the size of the hanger in question is indeed close to these measurements (I feel too lazy to convert them to inches right now), then it is very likely a Russian M 1810 hanger. Quite a find.
