I was recently gifted a sword that says "Made in Spain". It is quite heavy and beautiful piece. Can anyone help me with anymore information on it. Here are a couple of links to images: Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi, Welcome Could you take a sharper picture of the mark on the blade? Though, from the look of the steel, I am pretty sure it's a stainless steel decoration blade. It might be made by Marto, 99% a deco piece.
EDIT: They do have a "Peter Pan Rapier" that looks similar, but with a different cup (less ornate), it MIGHT be an earlier version of it, like early 2000s.

Yup, the Marto logo on the ricasso is a hint! The actual Tizona Cup Hilt has a black grip, this could be an older version.

I have seen a reddit thread about a second example of this sword, but nobody had any idea about what it is. He said he bought it 2004 at a show, I am sure it's not the same sword since this example is in far better condition.
I wasn't sure if it is Marto, since I have never seen their logo in person and the picture is quite blurry.

It's an older (?) Marto logo. The portrait on the cup seems to be the same. The Tizona cup is perforated, this isn't. Dunno...

Yeah, and the Peter Pan (which has a "new" in the title on Martos page) and their plain Cup Hilt Rapiers hilt look identical but has no embossing on the cup. It for sure isn't a low end deco piece.
Reddit: Marto:

Here is another image of the logo. A little better.

It's a Marto logo on the blade, their Barbarian Sword has the same. But which model is the question. Anyway, it's probably a stainless steel blade, not functional.
