Google translate failed me. Had to do a bit more research & found a reference to Spanish poetry for the hammer part and a bit more serendipity let me stumble on a proper translation of a Spanish poem and an explanation of it's connection to our English version. The Spanish one is more artistic & decorative tho. The Mexicans seem to have a habit of etching stiff like that on their personal weapons...

I can see the below crest in there if I squint hard enough. All will be revealed on it's arrival. The crest below is a gold damascene version of the Royal crest of Toledoon a button. As noted it is at least decorative...
