Stylistically the sword pattern is a British Royal Navy officers sword, M1827. But this is a sword with a long service history and was copied by many countries.

The RNR prominent on the hilt ( Royal Naval Reserve ) suggests a 20th Century production date. Can't tell from the pic if this is carbon steel or stainless.

It is possibly an British Pattern 1827 Naval Officer's sword. There may be a Royal Crest on the blade (VR for Victoria, E VII for Edward, GR V for George, ect).

Suggestions: reduce the size of your photos and post more showing the blade and overall sword.

The crown on the hilt shows it post VR as it has a tudor crown and the size and shape of the blade to pre 1930. Probably has GR crest
