What exactly do you call a walloon?

For me, this is walloon (belgian) , and I don't see any similarities...





The perforated hand cover is missing in mine...

It's a Walloon, and I'd agree the simple bronze form of the guard is later, I'd have said last 1/4 of the 18thC, possibly a little earlier if I had to guess.

IMHO its not British, and without finding some marks on the blade I'd possibly lean towards it being Dutch with 2x?? added because thats just a first impression.
