Hello: here are photos of a baskethilt broadsword I acquired recently. Not sure of it's authenticity, origin or age. The blade is 30.6 inches in length and 1.5 inches wide. 3 short fullers and a mark at the end of the longer fuller on both sides. I appreciate all comments...Thanks! Dave

Away from references, but looks like an 18th century Venetian naval sword if I recall, and the marks seems like Missaglia. VERY NICE, and look forward to more informed entries. Authentic.
