Quite short. Could be a police or Customs sword. Not one of the later (mid-late 19th century) patterns I usually see, but could be an earlier one (early 19th). I think it's about the right length for that kind of sword.

Being that short I was wondering if it was a naval version 1796 or 1811 Blucher or Robert Mole.
