Thank you all for the prompt replies. It is very appreciated that you have taken the time to do so. Here are some more pictures of the blade.

Hi Group, Typical new member here with a Sword I know little to nothing about. Being from a military family and member myself, I couldn’t resist buying this from an estate auction. Treat me like I know nothing as I am looking for as much information and history on this item as possible. Looks to be in excellent condition, with an older blade? Since the tang has 2 holes? I am also confused on the “brass chain” and the solid brown (navy?) tassel. Any help on identifying the maker, approximate age, value or anything you guys think would be important to know about this would be very appreciated. I apologize in advance if I’m am using the wrong terms or vernacular, I am new. Nick I
