Ocean?
Forgive me Fernando, since you were posting this sword I for some reason assumed it was Portuguese, as these are typically your key focus in adding to the perspective of sword types in discussion.

I did not understand what you meant buy the dates dont match?

So its a Macedonia regiment with a Spanish blade, the hilt and blade clearly not homogenous then I obviously misunderstood thinking this was an example in use by units in service of Ferdinand IV. ..much in the manner of my sword posted OP.
So....very nice Ferdinand IV blade.

Absolutely no idea on the hilt, Macedonia, or any details on it.

I do appreciate seeing another blade with Ferdinand IV inscription, Thank you.
