The blade looks very German, so I suspect a Solingen made one with a questionable Juan Martinez cartouche mark on the ricasso. From what I understand the bigger the shell guard and pommel, the older the sword. Although I cannot rule out that this could just signs of provincial origins. I also note that my sword arguably looks like a pure thoroughbred compared to many of the swords hanging in the picture from Segovia castle.

Wow that looks like my kind of place! The helmets on the left look quite interesting. Almost like those Roman gladiator helmets. So many places to see… I hope to finally make it to Graz to see the armoury there soon in the next few months. Fingers crossed.
