I know 2 other swords with the same type of inlay also around 1570-1580.
see attachement.

Hi Jasper,
the blade looks identical in shape like the one in your pictures, its 4,5 cm wide at the crossguard and 92 cm long, the inlay in the middle is a bit different and it is definitely of hexagonal hollow shape.
Kind regards
