The pommel nut could have been added at a much later date due to disassembly for cleaning etc. The pommel, guard and blade appear to be professionally made and in my opinion has good age to them.
The lines on the pommel suggest early 1800's possibly before.
If the sword turns out to be authentic I would have the grip professionally replaced with a period looking grip.
It looks like a very sturdy sword made to fight.
