Hi everybody

"European Weapons and Armour: From the Renaissance to the Industrial Revolution" a type 2a hilt I would like to know how we could estimate the period could it be from the early 17 TH century and also if somebody could tell me more about this "s" mark on the blade.
The total size is around 127 cm.
Any comment on it will be welcome.
