Hi. Your sword is the American model 1840 Mounted Artillery Troopers sword. It is a virtual copy of the French model 1829 Artillery Troopers sword. If you can source a copy of 'World Swords.' By Harvey Withers you will find your sword on page 211.The scabbard may not be original to the sword. It does bear resemblance to certain Russian scabbards but that is all. Many swords of many nations used very similar scabbards. I hope this post was helpful. Mary.
