Default A Good German Rapier, ca. 1575, the blade struck with 'eyelash' / sickle marks

The whole preserved in untouched condition!

Sold at auction by Christie's, London-South Kensington, May 21st, 2008, lot 27, hammer price GBP 10,000 (almost USD 20,000) plus 29 per cent buyer's premium.

Enjoy the lavishly detailed illustrative material!
