This sword is without doubt with a later pommel and grip .
I Believe that the spatulate quillons are from periode .
I ‘m wondering how could be classified this sword ,also I have never seen similar pommel.
Is it an existing type or pure fantasy ?
Also on the blade the inscription ME FECIT SALINGEN with what appear to be a trace of Passau wolf and not SOLINGEN.
I found a link for a similar inscription but unfortunately this link is not working anymore.

Zwaard met opschrift 1414 ME FECIT SALINGEN zwaard (wapen), l 106,1cm. Meer objectgegevens.
May be somebody has a explanation about Salingen in place of Solingen / Mistake or different place?
Any comment will be welcome.
Best
