It is truly a stretch to try to make out much on this sword from these photos, as noted and agreed. However what I might suggest is perhaps some sort of training or fencing epee. The tall olive type pommel is characteristic of mid to latter 18th century styles on various swords typically of military character in that time.
The thin blade is impossible to see, but looks 'blockish' almost as if squared in section.
While these are of course not 'combat' weapons, they, along with early fencing weapons, are fascinating in their own right, especially early forms like this.
Photo is a British light dragoon sword c. 1750s showing the pommel type which seems simiilar.
