Field saber (?) for comments

Hi there

In my eyes the blade is younger than 17th century, the pommel doesn´t fit in style and on the images the rivetting on the pommel doesn´t look too good to me, takinfg into account the dark surrounding but there must be brighter images of that part.

After all I assume that this is a 19th century or modern well made composite, using an original pommel, an 18th century blade and a new made (?) crossguard.

But of course I can be wrong so I am looking forward to comments of more knowing members.
