Default also an intresting sword with an solingen mark....

hello

I also found an interesting sword a few months ago. A Shiavona sword has been on my wish list for a long time but if possible I wanted to find one that was stamped with a forge mark and preferably with a Solingen blade.
This sword has a beautiful basket handle from the early 17th century. and interestingly it is signed "Francesco"
"en toleto" and in addition the Solingen running wolf is struck on the blade in the usual form (upside down to the writing). So now the question is where was this blade really made? Was it a Solingen blacksmith who emigrated to Toledo and he traditionally put the running wolf into the blade or was it a Solingen blacksmith in Solingen who wanted to increase the value of his blade by missigning it as a blade from a blacksmith from the famous Toledo This can certainly be discussed for a long time or does someone have a similar blade in their collection so that one could assign this to "Franceco" from Toledo. I'm really looking forward to your answer.
