Default A GERMAN FIGHTING TWO HAND SWORD LATE 16 TH CENTURY

.
Overall 175 cm and 132 cm in blade .
The blade has two bladessmith’s marks ( one crowned dragon and one imperial eagle) also one celestial mask ,a sun in splendour IHS trigram .
The Ricasso are engraved with JESU and MARIA and the fullers are with many punches nearly till the tip.
The pommel with polygonal sides of type 32 ( AVG NORMAN P254) could be dated from late 16th century early 17th century.
Later I will post close pictures from the full blade.
Of course any help for identification will be welcome , I already have applied for the support of Jasper who has already decipher some punches . “IN TE DOMES SIE “ ( in your name)

Best
