The blade mark is most likely the Kirschbaum mark. Although a bit dated, Mike McWatters good pages offer lists of makers and marks as well as examples of swords of the 19th century.

Feel free to send me pictures at gcleeton@gmail.com and I will get them up here.
I would guess that you have a cavalry sword in hand, as those were the primary export by Kirschbaum at the time. That is not an absolute but a likely hunch. If it is not of the three bar cavalry type hilt, my second guess would be a non-regulation officer sword with an eagle with banner in the half basket British gothic hilt type.
