Hey! Just noticed the first pic is as lateral view as can be, the pas dáne IS functional, ergo, the sword is pre-1770.
The cast grip look very similar to several from the 1720-1780 as appear in Neuman's "Swords from the American Revolution".
LBNL, in Wither's book, there appears one English sword with several similarities, dating to the 1650s.
Sadly, no smallsword I have seen so far shows an identical guard . OTOH, it is similarly shaped to the Spanish M1720, although smaller.
To me, everything says 18th C.
BR, M
