The style of the decoration on the brass furniture of the scabbard looks very Balkan to me, and is typical of the late 19th century. The blade looks older than the fittings, which is not unusual, as valued heirloom blades were often rehilted. Jim will probably opine on the blade, but I would guess Austrian/Central European from the 18th century. Very nice sword Ivo, congratulations.
