Simple fancy Dusägge

Dear All,

Happy new year!

I just purchased this Dusägge. Should be around 1600. The decoration, especially the pommel, is kind of fancy. Sadly the condition is quite poor. It was covered with paint, I just removed as well as I could. Will give it a bit more treatment the next days.
On the blade I found some marks, which appear to me as 3 crowns (the middle one seems to be mostly gone by rust). Does anyone know this mark?

A similar piece is shown at

This piece is dated as beginning 17th century. Do you think that´s also fitting to my one?

Looking forward to your comments.

Cheerio
