we crossed posts!
After posting I saw your addition of the detail and provenance of this sword, thank you for unveiling this information.
It is always helpful to add what you already know of the sword or weapon you are inquiring about. I once made a query to a well known museum and to a well respected author concerning a weapon said to be one thing, while other evidence said otherwise.
I was told by a dealer acquaintance NOT to add the research detail I had already gathered so as not to bias his response or assessment.
Some time later he responded, and when I responded back, I noted his version corresponded to what I had already learned.
I was severely reprimanded, with his saying if I had told him that in the first place it would have saved him weeks of research.
With this, I already had an idea for sources, so only spent an afternoon compiling data, which I actually enjoy anyway
but Im just sayin'.
Rather than a blind query, add all you know so we here so inclined can move forward in accord.
I did not SEE the provenance detail as I was still working on my conclusion in which we crossed posts, and I had not reread the thread, so that was on me.
Thank you for posting this very interesting sword, and now adding the historical provenance I was suggesting. It is not surprising that a rapier style of this stature would be found at the Royal level in Denmark.
