Old usmc sword looking to find out some info

[popeye]

I bought this sword at an auction yesterday for $70. When I looked at it closer at home I got to wondering if this might be something more than I thought.
It is marked USMC and the maker is Horstmann and sons Philadelphia.
Is there any of you guys out there that know a lot about the older USMC swords?
Pictures are the best I could do.
Thanks

Indeed - a Great deal.

I believe it is from the 1890's to early 1900's
- perhaps a little earlier. This design has
not changed much.........
