Spanish Sword?

I assume it is Spanish. After seeing pictures of a nimcha posted by Tatjana, I've noticed the similarity in a form of the quillions. This sword has two turned quillion ends which are connected together in a fashion which suggests a hanging loop. Perhaps it is for something else. The sword is someway heavy. I can not even guess it's age, authenticity and even a name for it:-) would appreciate any comments about this sword.
