Sadly, the Real Armería doesn't have much presence in the digital world.
I managed to find an old drawing, which shows details aplenty:

This is indeed "the" sword attributed to him, so widely copied. It's on permanent display.
Bear in mind that he was an arms and armor enthusiast, just like his grandfather Maximillian. "The" one sword of Charles I is hardly telling of anything, as he must have had hoards of them.
This one in particular was gifted by pope Clement VII for his coronation as emperor, as per Patrimonio Nacional's tweet on the subject.

I think that there must be some mistaken, as Leguina states that the one presented by the Pope had lost the guard:
| Quote: | | Merece por su procedencia, una especial mención, la hoja del estoque pontificio, enviado al Emperador por el Papa Clemente VII, el mismo que le acompañó en su entrada en Bolonia(22). Su hoja, de seis mesas y más de un metro de larga, presenta, por uno de los lados, las imagenes de San Pedro y San Pablo, sobre fondo pavonado, la inscripción con el nombre del donante, y fecha que corresponde al año de 1529. |

The blade, engraved "CLEMENS VII PONT MAX ANNO" can be seen in this gallery:
