Interesting sword. Clearly the terms schiavona and basket hilt are being used in analogy,and the terms 'Sinclair' and 'dussage '(tessak, dussack) are typically synonymous for similar forms of North European basket hilted swords with understandably wide variations. This North European sword with basket type hilt is of 16th-17th c. type which is generally held as the likely influence on the schiavona and the English basket hilt, later the Highland basket hilt (known in period as the 'Irish hilt').
A great reference for sword classifications is "European Weapons and Armor" by Ewart Oakeshott, 1980. The focus is on hilt forms as it is noted blade forms, as agreed by AVB Norman, these are of remarkable variation, and often interchanged not only in original mounting, but in working life of the sword.
Precise classifications for many sword forms are often speculative as there are as noted, often different terms for the same type sword, then the complications of later applied 'collectors terms', of which 'Sinclair saber' is one, and actually a misnomer at that.
