Shore Patrol Sword Help Please

I recently picked up this shore patrol sword and I think it's unusual because it has "ears" on the back strap like a sergeant's sword. I'm wondering if anyone here can enlighten me as to what exactly this is? The mekugi screw was already broken and I'm also wondering if any one here can direct me to a replacement screw.

Thank you all very much for any comments and words of wisdom.

Tom

Hi Tom.

 

I can't get you very far but it is not the 1895 pattern Naval shore patrol sword.  The closest I can get is from Fuller and Gregory who illustrate one very similar to yours but with a plain scabbard throat mount and no sign of the fouled anchor on the hilt.   Their example is quite small and they suggest possible cadet use.  No doubt someone will pin it down for you shortly.

 

Given the scarcity of the sword finding a replacement screw is a looooong shot.  Shouldn't be hard for any machinist to make one for you though.

 

All the best.
