G'day Tatyana,

I have seen very similar blades mounted on early to mid 18th century Scottish basket hilts. Here is an almost identical blade, mounted on a British 1796 pattern heavy cavalry officers' hilt. The original owner was Scottish, so this is thought to be a remounted family blade. These Andrea Ferrara blades are generally thought to be German made.

Cheers,

Bryce
