Marine officers swords are called Mameluke from the Shores of Tripoli. The Mameluke is curved as is the scabbard. The amount of curvature varies slightly between makers. As Ivory is no longer importable (legally) synthetics/substitutions are allowed. Lengths can be more than 35". A pretty good guess on the blade length is sleeve length minus one inch.

The sword you showed is a NCO sword.
