Help mushy identify his sword's maker!

It looks like an old civil war sword crafted for a general or someone without much wealth.  It's not poorly made, per say, but it's not high quality. 

Look up companies that operated back during the civil war.  Specifically ones that crafted for officers in the war.  I may even venture a guess as to it being a confederate sword.

There is absolutely no chance it is that old.
And I think most swords during that war were sabres. This sword is straight.
I'll bet it's from like the 60's.

1818 NCO MODEL STARR INFANTRY STRAIGHT SABER

Seriously, I google things before I make assessments.  I'm no sword expert, but I'm the only one who tried.

Well than.
There's still a very small chance that it's from the civil war.
The pommel has no screw in it. The grip is simply screwed on. Making a sword that way is more difficult and less useful.

The one in the OP looks nothing like that

That's not the point, which wasn't intended for you in the first place.

[Mushroom man]

It could be a straight sabre, but the grip is that of a rapier.
Once again, what type of sword it is isn't important.

This time you brought it up...

The point was that Sabers can be straight, and the style of the one I linked isn't important.  There are Sabers with that same hilt out there.  I only intended to give you a place in time to shoot for in your search, but you're saying it's definitely the wrong era. 

So be it, my idea is out of the question.  I just wish everyone wasn't so critical.

Should I take the grip off to see if there's anything underneath?
edit - nop. I can't get the damn thing off.

Maybe something similar anyway.
I can't find a very good picture of one of those. But it does look similar. Still, my sword's not that old.

It's a copy, probably machine made and acids used to etch the markings.

Yeah. I Absolutely no doubt it's a copy.
