Unknown Cutlass, Hanger, or Short Sword

Overall length is ~29"; blade length is ~23-1/4". Double-edged, straight blade, unfullered, spear-point tip. "Crown over T" stamped into blade at ricasso (see images).
Brass furniture - simple D-guard with two branches on right; wood grip. Number "1" on underside of upper quillon.
Scabbard is black leather body with brass throat (I assume it had a brass drag).
Does not appear to be shortened or reduced in any way.
