Very nice looking piece Fernando!

Being so light I bet it would handle nicely.

Thank you Terry
Yes, the 'featherweight' feeling is due both to the guard bowl not being a full cup but a reduced 'sail', together with a slim and relatively short blade ... rather pointy, by the way. With a point of balance so close from the guard, you may call this rapier sword a great tool for a fencer .
