The leather wrap seems new and is a fairly poor display replacement, if the whole sword is all original. The leather wrap can be nicly replaced giving it the look your sword might deserve.

I belive the markings are Swiss, as found in your literaure. I have seen same or very similar markings on other Swiss blades.

Reference: Old Galerie Fischer arms and armour auction catalouges.

Indeed the marking are Swiss or German wich fits this type of sword, it seems like it is the actual sword in the book, or is it a similar one ?
Congratulations!
