Sabre days.

I need help with id of this sabre. The blade is 34 inches from tip to hand guard.

Is it a dress item or has the blade actually been edged?

Looks like an 1850 pattern US Foot Officers sword.

It has not been sharpened. I was thinking 1840 model. There is no made in USA or china anywhere visible. I don't want to take apart the handle to look under it.

I'd have thought the blade would have the maker's name or something on it. Looks like it could be an 1850 Foot Officer's, like @IrishWind said, but on the other hand it could be some kind of private purchase sword that doesn't conform 100% to the typical American swords you see, like this one that's got a German blade mated to a British-style Gothic hilt with a Federal eagle in place of the Royal Cipher:

SOLD - Waterloo Militaria

American Civil War field officers sword with Federal Eagle to one side of the blade and U.S. to the other side. The blade is a German import by Solyngen as was most of the Union swords The Federal Eagle is also in the three bar guard. Sword is with original scabbard and in nice condition.
