Hi Valjhun

It's a very nice sword.
There is something so pure and perfect about the smallsword!

I think the blade might be earlier than the hilt.

I like these rococo completely brass hilts, I've got one myself and I keep thinking I should tag one of the smallsword-nuts and get the whole history of them.

I'd put the hilt at around the mid 18th.
I love them.
You see them with slight variation from a very 'military' lean and 'boat' guard as well.

Great sword.
