Any chance of a clearer photo of the blade panel? Ignore, just seen the photos. A search engine took me straight into the later photos.
I'm cleaning a sort of AVB Norman Type 91 hilt (with raised detail in a similar style to yours) with the blade stamped HEINRICH KOLL and the Passau wolf of Solingen and there is an armourers mark partially hidden under the shell guard which I thought may be the base of a stylised tree. Photos when I've finished the clean up.
