Regarding this blade's shape, i want to show an example, which i date arrount the mid 18th century.
I think it deserves a thread of their own, buy anyway, its blade resempleas a lot the one of yours and actuall the second has the same damascus steel sandwitch technique.
The grip though are of "karabela" type.
Therefore my opinion for your's is an 18th c blade with a hilt from the balkans and with a latter replacement scabbard
