Thanks for your reply, I'll probably post some more pictures when I get the knife. Although I feel that the seller's pictures do a good job of showing the important details, like the part of the pommel, where it appears that the knuckle bow was removed.

To judge by the small amount of fuller showing it looks like the blade is the tip of a sabre or hanger, probably the least distinctive part of most swords. I can't give you much hope for ever tracking the donor blade down.
