Interesting backsword with moon markings

I've been watching this saber hilted backsword that was on sale. I did not buy it (perhaps someone else here did? Sorry if I'm hijacking your sword! :oP) but I find it very interesting. The guard has some rather unusual features and it looks quite old (late 17th century maybe?). Since it's no longer listed I guess I can ask about it now.

Does anyone have any information on this (date, country of origin, etc)? I find the guard very interesting but I've never seen a sword quite like it.
