A small-sword for the captain of a merchant navy ship, France, mid 19th century
Interesting here is the guard with the image of Mercury and a ship in the background, which clearly points to the merchant context.

Mexican Navy Incident
A U.S. Navy destroyer stops four Mexicans in a small boat rowing towards Texas.
The Captain gets on the megaphone and shouts, “Ahoy, small craft. Where are you headed?”
One of the Mexicans puts down his oar, stands up, and shouts,“Gringo, we are invading the United States of America to reclaim the territory taken by the USA during the War of 1812.”
The entire crew on the destroyer doubles over in laughter.
The Captain finally catches his breath, gets back on the megaphone and asks, “Just the four of you?”
The same Mexican stands up again and shouts, “No Señor, we are the last four.
“Thanks to your President Biden… the other 21 million are already there.” .
