Unidentified sword
This sword is stamped "COLLINS & CO HARTFORD, CT"
I am aware this was a smaller manufacturer of swords and other products for the government during the Civil War. I cannot match this sword to any images I have seen. All similar swords seem to have different hilts. Any idea what this sword is?

Straight blade indicates infantry - from the plain hilt and pommel - probably an Infantry NCO dress sword. 0 -
If it has a 26" blade, it's a Model 1840 NCO sword. If the blade is shorter, it's a Musician's sword. 0 -
I saw another sword similar to this labeled as a USMC noncom sword from the Civil War. Is that possible? 0 -
