Rapier or Riding Sword?

pommel is norman type 29 (1550-1640) and the hilt a variation of type 52 (1550-1645).
Iahanni's name appears on several blades of the dussage type , made in styermark in the last quarter of the 16th century.

Actually this early rapier, or cavalry sword as you wish, has much in common with the dusagge; the thick bars, the shell-shaped guardplate and a pommel type that appears on later dussages around 1590-1600.

the crowned Moor mark is known to me, I just need to find where I've seen this.

so a Styrian rapier from the last quarter of the 16thC.

best,
Jasper
