1. In the bright sun today (makes a change) the circular blob at the top of the shield clearly has a small cross in it.
2. The crown is clearly visible below that and has multiple points around its top.
3. However, below is a reversed 3.

.

So possibly 89, so possibly Sebastian Hernandez. The text below for No 89 (el viejo Vivia) translates as "the old man lived 1637". I'm not sure if that means 'was active around 1637' or died 1637.
That aligns with the hilt type.

The text for No 90 (el mozo labro tambien en sevilla) translates as "the young man also worked in Seville". Presumably his earlier mark.

Thanks Werecow - I'll look at my other lists of marks to check.

I think the "3" in numbers 89 / 90 are a gothic stylized "z", but it's odd that it would be mirrored. Maybe it's a C and the bar at the top of the "3" is just the bottom of the crown?
