Hello Foxbat,

As you may or may not know the rapier in all it's variations is one of my favorite swords, and that rapier is a masterpiece, it is extremely rare in any condition and this one is as good as it gets.
Not only that it is also very elegant and of amazing craftsmanship !

Congratulations !!

Thank you, Ulfberth! I too, am partial to rapiers, agree, they seem to represent the most successful combination of elegance and function.
