An old blade, possibly rom a rapier, and possibly from the XVII or XVIII century.
I first thought it would be Portuguese or Spanish, but someone sugested Solingen.
May any member discern where and whose these marks are from?
Thanks in advance.

The pictures have distinct backgrounds because i had to choose them from various atempts to get reasonable takes ... allways difficult to picture tiny marks.
