well, it looks like an early 18th c small sword thats had the blade snapped half way and recut.
The point is quite well done, which often means old as (in my experience) people who try and resharpen them these days do a terrible job.
I've seen similarly recut smallswords described as left handed parrying daggers, but I fear that might just be wishful thinking.
