I think you are right on all your points. I do not consider the anchor a Toledo mark, but a tradition, carried on in many swordmaking centers.

Your sword has strong influences of the barquilla style which are usually made in iron and often larger. Infantry officer. Probably second half of XVIII century, but before 1790, when a new sunctuary law limited decoration.

I have no idea about the blade. It does not look a cut down rapier blade. Probably not Solingen. Not Toledo. Maybe Italian.
