I can only compare your sword to a hanger I have that is British circ 1790
The pommel has that extended tip or point facing downwards which is not typical of other swords. I would say it's British and from the same 1790's period. It also has a somewhat French appearance, some would say "Continental" type. The grip has been replaced so we can't use that to identify. |
The downward facing langets are typical for French swords circa 1800. The knucklebow on yours is similar to Will's but it is closer to the so-called reverse P style that came out in 1798. My guess is French, circa 1790-1800 Pre-Napoleonic. Of course, I think I've seen Russian and Austrian swords with those same lozenge-shaped langets... :shrug:

This is probably a French light cavalry officers sabre of the Consulat or First Empire.
