To that I would ask, on the familiar 'Spanish motto' blades, I had long thought that these were decidedly Solingen products and from c. 1750s, typically of course on the 'dragoon' blades ('1728') which remained in production well through to later in the century. I had no idea of the French capturing these and remounting them.

What book by Toledo?
