Looking to identify a sword

[lakesidetrader]

Guys this came into me today and truly I have no idea. Make is Simpson & Co Shul. The blade appears to be a butcher WWI S 98/05 style but it has a threaded tang? The Scabbard is again a S 98/05 anodized example.
The hilt just don't know...
As always your advice is valued.

Looks to be set up as a naval boarding cutlass. Interesting for sure.

Oh, by the way the scabbard is blued not 'anodised'. Steel cannot be anodised. Anodising is surface process used on aluminum.

All the best.
