probably Dutch around 1650-1660

probably not homogeneous but all from the same period.
the guard and pommel can be from an early smallsword. The pommel is a bit big for a dagger and the grip a bit small cf de pommel en guillon block do not fit well onto the grip.

f/m if the blade is a shortened "rapier blade" they did a fantastic job.

interesting weapon.

best,
Jasper
