Beautiful sword. Yes as people wrote previously it’s presumably a Solingen blade with a Spanish punzone. Maybe the swordsmith thought it clever to leave out the word “Solingen” to easier pass as from Toledo. Passau blades typically have running wolf marks. The fuller looks a bit odd but as was mentioned these are handmade 400 year old things and each one is different. I found a similar sword with a similar fuller in Kovac’s “Ubojite Ostrice.” I also always thought these were infantry arms due to their short length but maybe they were haudegen or cutting swords. The description states Cavalry sword.

Presence of thumb ring supports use as cavalry haudegen / cutting sword.
