Thanks Glen, that makes sense. Through the 'laws of diffusion', since the French were Bourbons, as was the royal house in Spain it seems plausible to have been present on some weapons' motif.

With Great Britain and the Holland, there were of course strong ties as well, and often weapon forms and motif became transcendent.
