Thanks for the additional info though. So, so far, we've got:

. marking suggests a Dutch blade.
. classified as "hanger" (this word doesn't exist in French apparently), so not necessarily used for hunting
. early to late 18th century, which is awesome news to me ^^

I sure wish my great uncle was still around so I could ask him where it came from. This makes me really curious to know if it actually came down the family line or he purchased it himself.

Thanks a lot again to all of you

Salaams neekee ~ Welcome to the Forum. Please show the other mark half way down the blade which could imply a Far Eastern inscription, Hindu or Arabic? Unlike Jim I haven't spent too long researching this style thus it was good to see his detailed report superbly placing your sword.
