Ah, well we have an old saying, "What's good for the Goose"
So I'll be posting a blade stamp I want to identify now
As for your sword.
The hilt looks later 18thC to me. But pictures of the blade might change that opinion.
My initial thoughts are that the animal headed full bronze hilt with 'S' guard puts me in mind of the private bandmans swords from that era. But there is something almost 'hunting hanger' about it.
The Bird has a very 'exotic' look to it. My feeling is European but colonial.
