Pietro Hernandez swordmaker

In a descriptive catalogue of the Real Armeria de Madrid (1898) two sword blades (G202 and G203) are described to be made by Pedro Hernandez, a name not cited by Palomares or Rodrigues del Canto, but with a sword in the Dresden Museum, with the punction of Toledo.
The Pedro Hernandez marks in the Madrid blades are a crowned F and a crucifix.
The Italian sounding name Pietro (and not Pedro) figuring in some blades out there could be from someone copying this 17th century Toledo master.
