Klebit bok shield

To revive this old thread, here are some pictures of a klebit bok that I won at an auction last week. It's had a rough life but it appealed to me. Dimensions 125x35 cm.

Two rapiers 2nd

Number two is also about 116 cm long. Narrow blade. Looks a bit less old than the other, but I really have no idea. Pommel and guard are both made of iron.
