Hi Gonzoadler,
these two swords must be of interest to you since they got the same decoration. That fact it is only decorated on one side would not disturb me heavily since some sword decorations (or even scabbards) were decorated only on the side which would have been seen when carrying them in a scabbard (budget?). The blade is a Montmorency (those started in the second half of the 18th century) and does quite not match guard in my opinion too. The other circumstances of your object I leave to people more knowledgeable on that specific type. I personally decline the thought of hunting swords having an expanded guard like parrying rings and so on, a thumb-ring could have made sense since it gives the sword more cutting power.
