Hello dear members,

I recently won this old sword at an auction as well as a halberd, I will show it later in another post,

I think early 18th century .
Can you help me to date it and fix its origin.

Best regards

Central European "Walloon hilt" of the late 17th century and re-used blade from the first half of the 17th century, possibly that of a Schiavona.
