Here is a shortened description of a few swords in exhibition in the Museum of Fine Arts of Seville:

54 Espada ... Lugar de fabricación: Alemania. Cronología: siglo XVII ...La hoja es de cua - tro mesas, acanalada en su primer quinto y lleva las siguientes inscripciones a cada lado: «IACOBO BRACH // IN ALEMANIA».

60 Espada ... Lugar de fabricación: Toledo. Cronología: siglo XVII... Tiene las siguientes inscripciones: «CIELES XX BRACH XX ME FECIT // CIELES XX BRACH XX SOLINGEN». Este espadero pertenece a una afamada familia de espaderos alemanes de la que destacan, además, Conradt, Enrich y Jacobo.

65 Espada ...Lugar de fabricación: Alemania. Cronología: siglo XVII...La hoja es de dos mesas, acanalada en su primer cuarto con la siguiente inscripción: «ARNOLDI xx BRACH xx SOLINGEN».

67 Espada ... Lugar de fabricación: Alemania. Cronología: 1665...La hoja es de cuatro mesas, acanalada en sus primeros diecinueve centímetros y con la siguiente inscripción: «IRASCIMINI NOLIT P CCAR // ARNOLDT . BRACH . 1665».

Here is the whole catalogue:
