Marc has provided you with ID for sure and even looking at the blurring images and seeing the fine form of the entire blade and the cleaned but pitted tang, my money is on it being a period blade.
As for the hilt, patience, communication with many and lots of scouring of box lots and old swords with blades in bad condition at auctions will eventually reveal what it is you need to complete the task, then comes the refit, a job in itself.
Not being my main field of interest, I would first suggest you find the hilt style that was commonly seen on blades of this nature and start your quest.
