In my opinion this is from the Toledo factory in latter 18thc.into early 1800s.
The large letters and character of the blade seem contrary to typical Solingen blades of this type. I may be wrong as blades of this period often had the
present ruler etc. but this may be of an atypical situation. There seem to have been varying protocols after the ultimate opening of the factory in 1780s.
