"Historische Waffen und Kostueme, Band 1: Waffensammlung Dreger" by De Gruyter a reference to a HEINRICH BRACH of Solingen, active between 1661-1725.
 
I guess this might be my guy.
 
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! 
 
PS: Fernando, your intuition was right!

very good! btw your rapier hilt is indeed Spanish. Blade can be of Solingen manufacture or as it says Toledo. some Solingen sword smiths went to Spain.
I believe Johannes Brach did this around 1625 ! maybe his father,  I have to check this later because my books are stored for the moment.
best,
Jasper
