Straight quillions on the swept hilt tend to indicate the early part of the C17th or late C16th. I have an Italian swept hilt with a similar form. After that they tend to curl in.

Blade appears to be too short. Thought it may be cut down but the taper supports the length being the original length.

I'd agree on the features, especially the bivalve one, being C17th. The work on the quillon block on the bivalve one is quite crude though, in form and finish. Replacement?

Bryce - excellent photo. What's not to like about that collection. I always did like the look of the hatchet point. I've read about HCS with spear points where the scabbard length matches, implying...

The anchor symbol is fairly common on mid C17th blades - though I've not seen it on a Schiavona - but is usually a single stamp. This appears to be from multiple tools.
