Hello /k/, /his/ told me to come here

So apparently this is my great-great grandfather's ceremonial officer sword, late 1800s. What type of sword is this? Is it based on some older types of European swords? Thanks

I'm not a sword geek, so I can't comment. I do encourage you to keep the thread alive or create another until night /k/ comes on board. /k/ always delivers eventually.

The inscription on the sword makes it clear that it is from the 2nd Empire. There is the imperial crown and just below PII. The swords of the Republic have the arms of the Republic. The cup of this sword is of brass, the iron blade and the silver sheath. Because it did not contain gold details in the sheath, it belonged to a junior officer (lieutenant or captain). It is a straight sword, therefore likely to have been from an infantry, artillery or engineering officer. It is not a combat sword but a ceremonial sword. The combat swords had the black blade and sheath. It is a beautiful piece, well preserved. With the end of the Empire many were destroyed, there are few of them nowadays.

Five swords of the imperial period and two swords of the Republic were seized this Thursday (7) by the Civil Police of Rio de Janeiro. One of them had been stolen from a museum in Sergipe.

The artifacts were recovered at the home of a collector in the municipality of Niterói, in the Rio metropolitan region.

According to the DRF agents, the investigation began after the Sergipe Civil Police reported that a 19th century sword stolen in December last year from the State Historical Museum could have been brought to City of fluminense.

According to the delegate Márcio Braga, after the investigations carried out by the agents of the DRF, the material was found in the house of a collector. The suspect with the seized material told police officers that he bought the swords online. He was indicted for wrongful receipt.

According to the agents, the stolen sword will be returned to the Museum of Sergipe. Other historical artifacts will be forwarded to the Iphan (National Historical and Artistic Institute).
