My Favourite Sword Fight Scene, Again!
Paying more attention to this scene since I have taken up sword fighting myself, though still in training, I think the swords used here are a "small sword" against Rob Roy's "Basket hilt Broad sword".

I know this is late and sorry to burst your bubble but the sword the englishman is using is known as a Transitional rapier. Some were used into the 19th century, especially by the spanish if memory serves.
