Thread: Old Sword?

Hi, I would like to ask you, if you can help with attached sword identificantion. It was told me the sword becames probably from XV-XVI century, made of spanish steel, made probably in Italy for high ranked priest. There is a writing INTEDOMINE(in te domine), on the other side SPERAVINON (speravi non) with crosses on the end.
Thank you for your opinion,

Looks Germanic, 16C to me. The Germans used to imitate and even copy Spanish markings.

Thank you. Do you have any idea about the value?

I suspect it might sell for 800GBP at UK auction, maybe retail up to 2000GBP, but that is an educated guess, nothing more.

I found the marking, but would need to see where exactly the orb (a circle) was to know if it is 16th or 17th Century

The price was 2500€, so close to your educated guess. I dont know exactly what the orb means. Is it bottom of hilt? Thank you in advance. I.
