I'd have thought it was 17thC, but that's just my guess.
I've been thinking about the 'turnscrew' and 'hammer' and I wondered if it might be for maintaining a musket?
It's a very interesting item. I am suprised there hasn't been more comments.
Something of the rapier family. Google some images and you can see the various elements represented.
I haven't found them all in one but there are so many variations.
I'd guess some transitional rapier.
Obviously your's had a knuckle bow.
