I guess this might be my guy.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

PS: Fernando, your intuition was right!

His intuitions are nearly invariably right!!!! Actually Fernando knows 'a thing or two' about cuphilts!!! "
This example reminded me of Heinrich Koll, aka Enrique Koll or Coll, who was a Solingen swordsmith who indeed did go to Toledo to work. There were a number of others as well.

Then i feel compelled to say that you know quite a few things beyond .

Ah Master Coll; apparently this one also managed to introduce his 'trade mark' in Portugal.
