Spanish or Prussian markings?

A blade with similar 'crowned bearded head' marks mounted as a hunting sword with mid 18th century London silver hallmarks is reported to have been sold as lot 310 by Taylor & Fletcher on 22 Feb 2018.

Wundes? If the sword (once we see it!) is of the late 17th/early 18th, could this be a variation of the Wundes Brothers stamp, as found on German and English hangers of the above mentioned period.
