Surprising also that the Toledo symbol (To) was also used to be faked.

Nice. I said Toledo never made the motto. I see I was wrong and thank you for sparing me the search.

Maybe, until a piece appears I will say it stands for military pieces.

About the Halbachs. I think I have told before there is at Simancas Archive an advertise-bundle sent to the king of Spain in 1775 of several blades with etchings in real size cardboard. I have been finding those swords later in real steel. Those are the "halbachs".

Lets se if I find it... they are somewhere.
