I dont see why you think this is German blade. This fine inscription was used mostly in spanish blades (but not only).
NO ME SAQUES SIN RASON / NO ME ENBAINES SIN HONOR [Do not draw me without reason/Do not sheath me without honor]). What wise and heroic words! I think it is the best of the mottos we find in swords.
It looks very old to me! But I will wait our friends who know better for the age estimation. Good catch Jeff!
