these are the same type of lines as you can see on the front brach of the guard.
On the blade they are visible on the back and front in the beginning of the blade.
This type of Swiss sabre with brass parts is generaly considered between 1700 and 1750, the older ones of this type between 1650 and 1700 did not have brass guard plates but steel and later the brass became the fashion.
