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
