Hello all, I’m looking for a little help in identifying the blade maker of this mid 17th century sword. Thanks for looking.

Do you have any additional photos of the sword (tip, hilt, grip, or any other furniture) and are there any makers marks anywhere on the item?
Also, without knowing the maker, what information lead you to believe it was madenin a certain era? Is there any other history around this piece?

Thanks for the reply. I don’t have any other images unfortunately. The maker is suggested to be SEBASTIAN HERNANI, but I’m not reading that (although I could be wrong).
The blade is fitted to a 1640-1655 rapier, so it sits firmly in the second quarter/middle third of the 17th century.
