Running Wolf

Thanks Norman,
I did look at the early maker's marks stickies, and what confuses me is that the running wolf mark that matches this sword is from the late 16thC - which doesn't appear to match the hilt, and I could only assume that it was fitted at a later date.
Also the blade has curious diagonal markings, which may have some bearing and so I've attached a pic. Seeing that the blade was shortened, these diagonal marks must of been added at the same time as they run across edge to edge. God knows why?
