Andrea Ferrara was a 16th Century blade maker that exported a significant number of swords to the British Isles. They had a reputation for quality, especially in Scotland.

In the time honoured tradition they were subsequently widely faked with the Andrea Ferrara name appearing on blades made well into the mid-18th Century. My suspicion is that your blade was made outside of Italy, most likely in Solingen, for the English or Scottish market.
