Brief correction:
"this sword was among the lots ,straight out of the armoury of the Karlsruhe Castle" is not correct.
The whole collection and the sword came from the castle of Baden-Baden. At the time when this sword was made, the house of Baden-Baden was strictly separated from the house of Baden-Durlach (later capital Karlsruhe).
As I am living nearby I used the opportunity to be present at all 22 days of this huge auction .
