What IS This?

Is this an edged weapon from back in the day,  or a corn cutter from the 1930s?   Hefty , thick in the middle & tapered to both edges  to form a double edged blade.  The sketch is just what it may have looked like before it broke and was entombed in soil.  Oh, It was found in WV, close to F&I War & CW activity.   Thanks for any ideas.

Based on the angle of the tang in relation to the blade, it looks similar to a Nathan Starr 1812 cavalry saber. There are a number of other sabers of that period with similar angles between the blade and tang, so it could have been any of them. I am using the Starr simply as an example.
