Sword found in Cape May 50 yrs ago

[matthews2k4]

Hey all

Need some help here. Someone my wife works with brought this sword in today. She said that her husband used to do concrete over 50 yrs ago in Cape May and would have to get sand from the beach areas when he found this. Does it look familiar to anyone? Told her I would try and get some info. Any help would be appreciated!

It looks like a ceremonial dagger to me..

"Arsenal do Ejercito" is the "AE" mark I think - Portuguese.
