This is breathtaking Keith!!! A cavaliers rapier with a TRUE Toledo blade!!
I have honestly never seen a rapier blade that is unequivocably TOLEDO, and with this very famous maker. While Solingen indeed copied his name on their blades early 17th c......this may well be from Toledo by him c.1590s.
As far as I have known, Solingen may have used his name, but never his punzone.
This undoubtedly belonged to a very well heeled cavalier.
