      It says West Point. The same style was used for many many years. Is there a name etched on the blade?

      It appears to be a Model 1922 most likely a private purchase sword.

      It is a US Military Academy (West Point) cadet sword.

      They are carried by cadet officers for ceremonial use (parade, inspections...)

      The orientation of the crest makes it post 1923.

      H& H was established in 1926, so we can skip a few more years forward.

      While it may have been privately purchased-- these were only retailed through the Cadet Store, so it went through a cadet, graduate or faculty member first.

      A search of H & H may yield more precise dating.
