Spanish or Prussian markings?

I think these signs are of Mexican origin

It is in a Walloon type sword, so not Mexican! And I do not think the Mexicans had the ability to make such quality stamps as used on the kings head.
I was given a copy of page 1 of 1000 Marks of European Blademakers. Apparently an 8 pronged sun symbol is quite unique (most have less prongs), and are connected with Alman de Juan of Spain in the 16C

Hey there

Without entering into the definition of origin, I wonder how is it in high relief or bas-relief, or a photographic problem, focus? In addition, for an accurate, complete picture be advisable or gun na opinion.

Affectionately. Fernando K

Sorry, I do not understand. If you are asking me about my photographic skills, I have none.

Fernando K is sometimes betrayed by the translating engine.
I guess he suggests that the picture doesn't show whether the marks are protruding out of the blade or impressed into it.
He also suggests that a complete view of the whole sword would help to define its origin ... which i fully agree.
Could you that, Andrew ?
