Heavy French cavalry sword made by Coulaux & Co, Klingenthal, France. Inscription places the manufacture date between 1856 and 1870. Would definitely do a number on a foot soldier from a charging horse!

It's a long one, 43" with a 36" blade. I wish I had the scabbard.

M1854 is the model, but it was made when France still held the area.
