I have no doubt this sword is an original in all parts and indeed from the first quarter of the 16th century.
For me the pictures are clear enough to see this in the details.
I have a bit experience in the field of looking with a loupe at details and carbon content in things , it was my job for over 30 years.

Magnificent sword !

Kind regards
