Small medieval sword

Excellent sword! This Oakeshott Type XIV sword, very scarce type. In most of the Europe they was used for very short time in 1275-1325, but in some places in South and East Europe this type was popular up to mid-16th century. Cross guard and pommel let me think it is early 1500-s.

Here is my Type XIV with earlier style blade

Thank you. Yes I agree with you. According to my research, these are small swords (between the dagger and the big sword) for men on foot from the 14-15 th century. In French we say "passot sword."
