Default A Good Musketeer's Rapier, Probably Saxony, ca. 1600

Sold Bonhams, July 25, 2012.

The iron parts preserved in perfect original yellowish olive oil patina, the wire binding missing from the leather-covered wooden grip except for a Turk's head. The ricasso retaining its leather covering.

Best,
Michael
