In my somewhat uneducated opinion, the blade appears to be 19th century to me. I could be wrong though.

Not so difficult to follow your impression, when looking twice to it. I wonder why Jasper has not commented on that possibility.
Not that Tony would like the idea, though

What happened to the cross-guard on the 2nd picture of the 1st entry??

I agree with your doubts concerning the blade. As the riveting looks unopened and the condition is fitting to the rest of the sword, I think we should discuss the possibility that this is a piece from the Historism/19th century.
