Thanks for the clear pictures!
Iam sorry but no matter how much you want to believe it, it is sure to be a later reproduction and not an original mace. the faint lines and very low quality of the fleur de lis in your pictures clearly show that it is a casting and no chiselling in relief. The mace from the berlinerzeughaus inv. nr4453 you posted, is of a totally different category, high quality carving and etching and non comparable to the coarse casting/workmanship of your mace. hereby also attached some pictures how a 16th-century mace should look.
