French M1811 Naval Sabre? Questions

Greetings All

I bought this sword out of an Nautical collection auction out of Maryland a while ago. It appears to be a M1811 French Naval Sabre that has been excavated or found under water at one point. It has been conserved and is solid. There are remnants of Japanning on the Cup. Unfortunately, all markings have been lost to corrosion.

I found a picture of this exact sword on another forum on a vendors table at the Hartford Antique Arms Show Oct. 11-12 2008.

Just wondering if anyone has any idea where this sword came from or if anyone has any info on it.

Best Regards
Rob
