Maybe I was to quick judging about 2nd half of the 18th century. But it doesn't look early 17th century to me either!
The hilt is closed, so it's not earlier than end of 17th century. But it's reminding me those hilts used in Poland with estocs. Anyway without book samples I can't remember for now how exactly those hilts looked like (Radu were are you!), but this one is with extra long quillon - next puzzle or it's just me ??
It would be great to see this markings on the blade - photo or drawing. But the blade doesn't looke like from 17th century for me - but I can be wrong !!, so I won't judge anything for now. 103 cm is not so long for koncerz and is quite long for pallash. Very interesting weapon!!
Let's wait what will others memebers write, and I'll sniff around this pallash next week, when I hope to get better.
Pozdrowienia!
