Default ARMADA PERUANA smallsword

I bought a blade marked ‘ARMADA PERUANA’ - most likely of German manufacture.
I am looking for information on what the handle for this blade looks like. I cannot find anything on the internet about this spade.
Overall length 109 cm
Blade length 97.5 cm
Width 18 mm
Thickness 4.8 mm

Interesting rapier blade, modern, acid etch 'ARMADA PERUANA ' (=Peruvian Navy???)
Possibly early 20th c officers sword of commemorative style?
Anybodys guess on hilt as blades were put into whatever hilt was preferred by whoever was using the blade and in what context.
With Spanish context my guess would be some sort of cup hilt of the traditional forms.
