So at least the blade of the discussed sword with the spelling SAHAGOM should be regarded under this aspect.

Yes Udo; maybe the text of my post $7 was not well put.
Remember the Sahaguns were a whole family of blade smiths, father and three sons, Alonso (named like his father), Luiz and Juan, also nicknamed Sahaguncillo; all of them, with their father's mark, as per own right.
By the way, the spelling in the discussed sword blade is not SAHAGOM but SAHAGVM, the letter V by then equivalent to U, as per old Latin.
