The blade looks very German, so I suspect a Solingen made one with a questionable Juan Martinez cartouche mark on the ricasso. From what I understand the bigger the shell guard and pommel, the older the sword. Although I cannot rule out that this could just signs of provincial origins. I also note that my sword arguably looks like a pure thoroughbred compared to many of the swords hanging in the picture from Segovia castle.
