Hello Helleri,
It depends on your general consensus. Some would classify this as a m1728 cavalry sword that has been beat to Hades. Others believe this is always as it appeared, assembled and brazed/soldered in the Spanish colonies in the Americas. I guess either way the answer is, yes, it was a 'quick fix'. Weapons were so scarce that they were often assemblages of spare parts, with help from a colonial blacksmith, thus the brazing.
