18th c. at least for the blade...
You should clean the silvers fittings and guard.
Congrats

Thanks

I like it very much and indeed some cleaning is required.
About the blade I have similar opinion that it's XVIIIc. I am just not sure if the rest (hilt/scabbard) is from the same period (despite all matches very well)
