Can anyone help identify this sword blade

[Cloudrunner78]

This blade which measures 22.5 m from Tang to tip was given to me by a friend who basically tripped over it in a wooded area just south of Atlanta and stockbridge. It's covered in Engravings and Scrolls but I can't make any of them out as they are badly worn. I could make out a date of 1861. I'll include a few pictures and maybe someone can identify one or more of the markings that are still visible.

Welcome from the Fort Sumter and the Fredericksburg forums.

This same blade was posted previously (by another member I believe). Search for that thread, but the consensus is it's not a CW blade.
