I believe the style is that of an Ames artillery sword; same design used
by Confederates and also made by French if I recall correctly.

I think all of those were modeled after napoleonic "gladius" artillery sword... were produced by many countries until late 1870s. "Confederate" sometime means imported from Europe.
