There are splines. There is also a small set screw.

The splines tend to corrode and "adhere" to the shaft making the removal of the knob difficult.
I'd suggest being very careful as the window mechanism is a rare piece, one you certainly do not want to damage.

Remove the set screw and add some penetrating oil to the hole.
