Default A sword 'three in one' for ID and coments

I consider this one a chalenge to our polyvalent members .
Well, i call it 'three in one' because first, i don't know how to propperly call it and, secondly, for the following considerations:
The grip, with those deer and dogs, would call for a hunting sword, right?
The (strictly one sided) guard is so objectively naval that i can not associate it to the hunting atmosphere; more a cutlass or a hanger mounting ?
The blade ah, the blade. With its narrow and wide fullers (is there a name for this?) was once shortened, so it appears; maybe not a large portion, but still! It has now 75 cms (29 1/2"). Its profile is straight, single edged, fairly strong looking, still some flexible; must have once belonged to a very serious sword; i wonder if any of the members can associate it to some sword model.
I wsouldn't be surprised if this set dates back to the 18th century, namely the blade.
Thank you so much for you guy's coments.
Fernando
