I was looking at Sebastian Hernandes on the web...As noted by Fernando. Spanish 1580 and around that time period. SEE https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtefactPor...e&one_tap=true

Default Rapier

Thanks for the guidance folks.
It was actually Sebastian Hernandez on the blade; the final letters were obscured.
Fernando, your post of the names and symbols of Toledo blade-smiths, in particular the symbols, led me to take a close look at the forte, and sure enough, there was Hernandez the elder's sign.
I've always wanted a Toledo blade, but did not actually envisage finding one. The fact that it is on a Cavalier's rapier (another want on my list), and a luxurious one at that, with Charles and Henrietta's masks on the hilt, makes me very happy.
