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.
