A RECENTLY ACQUIRED CUP HILT SWORD FOR COMMENTS

[ulfberth]

Congratulations on your new cup hilt Fernando, I like it because unlike most it has the Flamberge blade type and is a long one for this type of cup hilt.
Considering most rapiers of that period had a length around 120 cm or more im not that surprized to see this one with such a long blade, but yours is actualy wide to for a long blade, a very nice one!
kind regards

I thought it looked familiar; I photographed this in the Lisbon Armoury Museum back in 2019. Don't know if it is of interest here but... anyway:

Thank you so much for that, Keith. Excelent call. This sword has been brought to attention in a previous thread a while back. Glad you have visited a museum in my neck of the woods.
