A great place which I have have to visit myself too. One of the benefits of living in Europe is that those places arenīt far away.
Their published literature and sources are outstanding. I think this is the oldest Arsenal with continuous records. Thank you for sharing!

Very cool photos, that must have been a very fun day at the museum. By the way, the "sun" or "cog wheel" markings in the fuller of the last walloon hilt in the third pic remind me a lot of some markings on a blade I own that I have not yet been able to figure out.

While the scale seems to be different, they definitely appear to me to be the same style of marking. Considering the other blades in the photo seem to be Genoese, I wonder if this symbol may be from there.

Below are a couple of pics for reference:
