Could have been a wide variety of hilts... even a Moroccan saif/nimcha hilt. I know of at least one nimcha currently being sold with the same profile and the "Andrea Ferara" markings (including the single r misspelling), although with my limited experience I can't tell if the mounts are original to the blade (the hilt looks possibly recent to me but since it's on sale I can't post pictures).

EDIT: Found one that was already sold with Ferara markings (though slightly different ones), pic added. Although again the grip may be a replacement judging by how it doesn't quite fit the guard.
