Spanish / Italian Smallsword

Thank you for the information Midelburgo, so you suspect it was a Spanish infantry officers sword, and not belonging to a civilian?

Yes I think it is military. Civilian weapons would be more French epee de ville like.

There is a stablished model for the Royal Guards quite alike, but with the Royal coat of arms.

Found another sword with a very similar hilt but a colichemarde blade. Described as probably Italian, 18th Century.
