This is identicle to one that I owned ( and unfortunately sold some years ago for taxes ). It is I believe a sword from a member of the guard of the Doge of Venice dating I think to the first half of the 18th century. My initial IDing came from several examples in auction catalogs ( an older Museum of Historical Arms was one, a Fagan Arms was another ) but after listing it on ebay I heard from a number of folks, some who sent me pics of thier examples telling me the same thing as above about it.
