Not as 'beautiful' as mine of course, but not too shabby  What's the balance like? Interesting similarities to mine. Is the tang 'peened' or does the pommel screw-on? I find that this reinforces my view that these might be more than decorative! Do you still have it? Where is the point of balance, can we have some stats please? Thanks for sharing Gene |

It's long gone. I sold it [as a replica that it is] on eBay to a Spanish dealer, then somehow it ended up back in the US, and is probably still floating around.

Interestingly, searching the web I'm finding several references to either Dmitry's exact sword or others just like it>

Where's everyone else?
There must be others of these? I bet many of us have got a 'revival' rapier in our collections of one sort or another, even if not a Klingenthal? |
