Dime el Aterro

I have received the last of three advices i requested from Spanish sword connoisseurs.
Again the Spanish origin for these blades was a possibility put aside.
A different approach was instead brought to consideration, as being the inverted position, that is, Spanish blades being imported from Germany, when home production did not suffice the needs, and a clumsy conversion of a German text to Spanish.
Well, a new perspective

I was guessing. Glad to have more knowledgible folks support the possibility. Now, what is the connection with a German-made, Spanish style blade ending up on an East Indain sword? Trade routes??
