Hello, the blade markings look French, but the hilt is not French.

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

Yes, that is what it looks like...

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
