1852 Navy Sword question

This M1852 Navy Officer's Sword is marked Toledo Spain. I assume it is a relatively modern model, maybe VN or even later.

Can anyone give me an informed opinion? And is the marking above "Made in Toledo" a particular manufacturer's mark?

Thanks in advance, 

Jim

The eagle symbol with H&H was used by the Hilborn-Hamburger Company out of New York.  This symbol is seen on insignia use before, during and after WW2.  I know nothing about swords but my guess is that H&H contracted out their swords to a Spanish firm.
