Have received the sword and it is a nice one. I would guess that it is from around 1890, it has a very thick blade (9 mm at the base), it is 51 cm long without scabbard and a heavy one. The guard is from black horn.
Here some pictures after some maintenance. Maybe I will look for brass bullen-nails in the same size to replace the missing ones at the handle.
