VOC Sabre yes/no

Hullo Valk,

Welcome to the forum.
In the absence of any info so far, I am putting my input. I hope it is of some help.

Your blade looks like it was made in Hoorn in 1774.
The VOC had contracts to build and operate foundaries in such places as India. Among the things produced in these places were blades for trade/commerce.
I am including info/fotos for a Pedang Soenda with such a blade.

Name: Si Loetoeng
Cat.: PedangSoenda
Type: Pedang Abet Pamoeka
Blade: VOC sabre, 49.5cm., 0.35cm thick
Handle: Makara Bolong, buffalo horn
Age: c. 1773
Origin: Tatar Soenda

mvg,
