I will sleep better

The entire ensemle looks 19th century to me and the blade is far too pristine for 15th century. I agree: latter addition of the inscription and a bit exaggerated to boot.

Also, the middle panel of the scabbard looks somewhat different from the rest. I suspect it was "renovated'.
