VOC Sabre yes/no

[Valk]

Hello all,

To speak English is not very difficult, but to write it! So in advance excuse my English please.
I am looking for help on finding info on this sword (picture).

I won’t sell the Sword, but I like to now if its authentic.
It’s in the family for almost 30years.

VOC stands for: De Verenigde Oostindische Compagnie (The United Dutch East Asia Company)
There are different characters on the Sword. On both sides the same.

Characters:
VOC
1774
(+ characters)

total length of the sword (sabre) some 80cm (32inch), blade approximately 65cm (25,5inch)
The grip maybe bronze?
The Blade is connected through the grip (on the backside of the grip)

Please look at the picture and let me know what you think. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

Sincerely

Valk
