Please help me identify this sword

[Radboud]

I second Roberts comments that it is likely a composite of a spadroon blade and a cosmetic/theatrical hilt. Personally, I don't think it's a 1796 and more likely a later European type based on the ricasso shape.

Older spadroon blades from the late 18th or early 19th Century generally have a cutting edge that terminates closer to the hilt.
