Sword for identification

Hi Manuel,
thanks for your remarks, but in my opinion the blade has to be related to an XIX cent. environment. In this case the scabbard (which fits perfectly) could be considered as proper.
The blade is shorter and thicker if compared to that of a XVII cent. rapier (see my very first pic), and also the conditions of the blade makes me suppose of a not too long life.
Best regards to all cooperating friends.
