Help to identify a sword

[Tim Simmons]

I am going to change my mind and go for a real weapon. 16th century possibly 17th. Looking and at the item, just looks too well made, great steel, really nice patina and as said before good for taking off body parts. Take it too a proper museum.

ps

Is that a mark , funny looking scratch? on the pommel. Cannot see it being used against armour. Still going with real 17th century.
