The dealer was fairly certain the brass handle was specifically designed for balancing this piece.It could of course been a later but still antique replacement.
Doubt it was a Bull fighting sword. Too stiff & narrow. Could be a boar hunting sword tho, but they generally have wider blades. example below. These are also 'estoc'.
