Default A double handed sword

Hello dear members,
I wanted to ask your opinion about this huge sword,
I think it is a reproduction of an antique 15th-16th model of two handed sword and I bought it with this description and correct price but , your precious help is needed:

It was sold as a 18th-19th century reproduction
But : the global shape of the blade is too perfect,
So maybe it is just a 20th repro model ?

On another angle:
the blade seems not recent and really well made.
( just a mark/stamp is missing....)

The pommel seems old ( maybe Saxon origin as Merenti illustrated in his post about saxon arms )

the guard and leather, I don't know,
I found look like model said to be late 19th century reproduction and other good ones.....

I'm not specialist at all in this area and every comment is welcomed.
Kind regards
