Default weight
One thing I didn't indicate was the weight of the two swords:
the hollow blade French smallsword is c.35g
the rapier blade Portuguese smallsword is c.40g
So, a little heavier, which is apparent when holding them.
I see no-one has jumped in to tell me they have seen many hollow blade Peninsular smallswords... I don't know if this is significant or not. Maybe they are waiting for the weekend.
