HI Marcus ,Fernando and Neil 
Many thanks for your comments 
This sword  was in the Morton and Angela Stern Collection (New York) and had been sold with the following description : AN ITALIAN BROADSWORD, EARLY 17TH CENTURY. I didn’t find  any more information about this collection . A sword with related blade and hilt, formerly in the Kienbusch Collection, and now in the Philadelphia Museum of Art, is illustrated Boccia and Coelho 1975, no. 545 (.scan courtesy of Fernando ) 
Hoping to learn more about 'Peter Bere Avillem” 
Best 
Cerjak
