Georgian as in King George - third quarter of the 18th century
i am no expert, but i have seen a few reproductions and some originals in my reenacting days
i would be hesitant to take it apart- but are the butt cap and side plate silver?? if so- they could very well have hallmarks on the underside that would date it within a few years
