Hi Cathey, welcome to the forum.
Concerning the description; who made it ? did it come with the sword ?
In other words, who has connected this piece to Cordoba?
San Roqe is naturally a misspell for San Roque.
You know there is (also) a (small) city called San Roque in Colombia? I know this is a fantasy, but there is silver in Colombia, men with hats, deer and eagles.
The dog in the hilt; the legend says that when São Roque was contaminated with the plague, he retired to the forest, and only survived because a dog brought him daily a piece of bread. In some countries this Saint is considered the patron of dogs.
I know this doesn't help much, and would like to know where that sword comes from.
