The long handle is typical of Siamese cavalry swords. The hilt is probably original to the blade. I would guess late 19th C but hard to say from pictures.

Just a question: this could be an original Siamese calvary sword, i mean that also the handle is original, or a Siamese calvary BLADE, remounted wih this long handle (sorry for my ignorance    )? thanks
