I resently purchased this interesting Cup/Ball hilt Epee togheter with some other swords fromn an old castle estate in nordseeland Denmark.
Unfortunly it havent been possebly to find positive ID/dating on the blade and Cup ( the handle is added in lack of the original one an is only to get the feeling of handle) så only blade and Cup are original, onthe Cup is ingraved in french ( i suppose ![]() ![]() Best regards Kjeld.

If I am right this is not a rapier but a florett and the script at the inside of the blade is "Manufre de Klingenthal" what stands for the French Manufacture d'armes de Klingenthal/Alsace.

Welcome to the forum Kjeld,
Florets are not for combat but for (school) fencing. |

The very small oval mark with an "S" under a star directly under the hilt could perhaps be the mark of Francois Antoine Schütz. He has been controler of blades since 1853 in the armsfactory of Châtellerault. May be he was controler at Klingenthal in the years before too.
The second possibility is that the blade has been made by the armsfactory of Châtellerault and afterwards was sold to Klingenthal, where it got the signature of Klingenthal. corrado26 |

Could this be a "épée de combat" Duel veapon?, wich put the script on the Cup/ball in understanderable context, "honour outweight life" (freely translateed fromn the french script) and if so, what dating are we talking about? best rgards - Kjeld
