I reference to the previous "NO ME ENFADES" blade now I know of another two similar ones, also dated 1700 and 1702, with Spanish texts.

So, these seem to have been used by Spanish Dragons before an Ordenanza in 1704 ordered straight blades.

The 18833 is obviously a Weyersberg inpersonation of Toledo, just as nowadays Chinese fakers make spelling mistakes.
