Heinrich Kolle

James Mann mentions Enrique Coll (as marked in Toledo) as possibly Heinrich Koel of Solingen (Wallace coll. 1962, p.298).

In "European Makers of Edged Weapons and Thier Marks" by Staffan Kinman (p.18) it is noted that Heinrich (Enrique) Col who was a smith for the Royal Court in Toledo in first half of 17th c. and also worked in Solingen.

On p. 47 a Heinrich Kohl (elder) is listed 1580-1620 and using crucifix and deer as marks.

A number of Solingen makers did work in Toledo as well, which as can be seen further complicated the spellings, however it may be presumed that they meant the same individual, the spurious application of makers names notwithstanding.
