Hand and a half sword 14th/15th century

Thank you for your replies, gentlemen!

Thanks for clarifying about the type. How do one recognize if 1 1/2 or two handed? Am unsure about the date. Here are some more photos of the pommel. It is pretty thick (~4cm). A somehow similar one (but not same) can also be seen in the book "The sword - form and thought".

The blade length is nearly same as for my one handed sword. Could it have been shortened?
