Hello.I am sure this is composed of old sport or practice swords.The blade looks the most recent part which I feel is a cut down fencing sabre blade.The modern fencing sabre has a straight blade but you can find old curved ones.The guard is for a foil, a straight lightwieght poking weapon.The style of guard is 19th century.The grip looks as if it has been shortened and it should all unscrew at the pommel.I would think it has been made for the stage.Tim
