Hi. Thanks for your post it's made interesting reading.
The stitching on the Scabbard just reminded me of,as an example, the 1796 Infantry Scabbard stitching. The way it's done strikes me as 18th century rather than what is seen on 19th century Scabbards, a naval Scabbard for instance.
The Blade is razor sharp and a good quality steel....I have had a good look and it could be a cut down Sword blade.
The pommel nut is screwed onto the tang and I have taken it apart.
I'm still thinking it's 18th fingers crossed!
