So a friend found a sword, a bunch of rifles and a bayonet while cleaning her house up.
I know what the rifles are, but I know next to nothing about swords. Found a bit about the M.C. Lilley Company stamp on the hilt.

Still don’t know if this is a military sword or a presentation sword of some kind.
