The Spanish Motto

Just some examples of the Halbachs 1775 cardboard real size trade samples, from the Simancas archives.
There are not "no me saques" mottoes among them but the blades are the same you can find with that motto. And the offering letter to king Charles III says he can choose whatever motto he wants.
The offer was rejected for the state owned weapons. But private buyers (officers) could buy them.
No doubt the offer was repeated from time to time, but only the one from 1775 has survived.

The kingdom of Two sicilies has similar pieces.
