Thanks Dmitry :) Basicaly making it a composite hanger that consists of a French Briquet(?) blade with an Danish Model 1756 hilt.

Perhaps a period composite, using a captured French blade?

Hard to say if it is period or an "collectors composite". Denmark sided with France during the Napolionic wars and was at war with England....and off course Sweden during this period :)
