OK, the good and the bad. The good? There are remains of the sword knot, the leather washer, the sheath isn't limp and all the fittings are mostly pretty snug, and the blade has some rust blossoms, but not too bad a condition. The bad? I don't know if the blade was scrubbed or over abraded or what. Some abrasion marks are evident, but there's no script of any kind to indicate maker, retailer, or a royal cypher. On the scabbard, I can make out "J.SYMONS, DEVONPORT". So, I don't know if it's William IV, Victoria, George, or what era? Any of you good gentlemen who can flesh out the bones of this, please chime in. Thank you in advance
