The king's head stamp is weak and hard to make out. It does resemble (slightly) the Weyersburg king head marking, which looks quite different than that of the earlier Wundes king's head marks. It can't be Weyersburg, however, because it would have three heads in a row and Weyersburg didn't take over the king's head mark from the old Wundes firm until after 1760-70, while this blade is clearly mid/late 17th, right?
