Thank you for your suggestions!

Will try brushing off the rust. See how it works out.

No comments about the sword?!

My guess would be Scottish, late 18th century, but I am not very knowledgeable .

i would say your guess is pretty close - Scottish mid-late 18th century and middle quality. I assume that there are no marks on blade or hilt to help identify it. But a nice sword to own.

This may well be Scottish, but made in the early 19th century.
