This sword seems appropriate (let's say in a living history context) from about 1475-1500 but an end date seems more difficult to estimate.
I guess this is usual, because dating often relies on appearance in portraits, which are usually of people rich enough to afford fashionable swords.
Nevertheless, I would like to have an idea. It should definitely be suitable until 1550, but would 1575 or 1600 be possible, or would it be a stretch?

personally, I would have said that it would be appropriate to about 1540, and maybe into the 1550s to a degree. into the 1560's or beyond however, I personally think it would be pushing it a little too far.
but that's just my opinion.
