some better pics.
authenticity? don't know, I will check their HAM files for the provenance.

good: is shape of guard, bras finals "riveted" to guard, copper alloy washers used in grip, blade outline.
bad(unusual): is shape of fullers, non-gothic 4 mark, condition of leather grip, shape of pommel.

very bad is that somebody cleaned the blade with heavy sandpaper.

1540 is a bit too late this type came around 1500, this type occurs frequently in the work of Albrecht Duerer.

best,
