This is a sword I have had for many years in my collection without being able to discover anything about it. I would appreciate any comments from members. I bought it simply because I liked the look of it but have never been able to ID it.
It measures 104 cm from pommel to point across the curve . Thanks. |

it seems to me an older blade, probably 17th century, mounted in a later hilt probably done in the 19th century. (the style of the hilt is of the last quarter of the 16thC)

I agree with Cornelistomp that it's an older balde in later hilt. I'd say 18thC blade in 19thC hilt.
Very attractive though! I WANT IT! |

Thank you both , this makes sense as I bought it along with some Victorian 'Gothic Revival ' daggers . In this case though the blade of the sword looked very old compared with the hilt .
