Need help on German blade inscription

Hi Fernando,

no it has nothing to do with expertise, I am habituated to old script in sword Fullers and my language and Dutch names are like German names.
see for example the e in Clemens meigen (picture), the 17th century E resembles a kind of character that looks like EC combination.

I apologize that I have not previously earlier responded to the script in your sword

I thought i should attach a new image of the blade with the correct inscription.
Also a couple other pictures of the screwable pommel button and the scabbard straight ending point, details that are typically seen in Portuguese swords.
