A Good German Rapier, ca. 1575, the blade struck with 'eyelash' / sickle marks
The whole preserved in untouched condition!
Sold at auction by Christie's, London-South Kensington, May 21st, 2008, lot 27, hammer price GBP 10,000 (almost USD 20,000) plus 29 per cent buyer's premium. Enjoy the lavishly detailed illustrative material! Michael Last edited by Matchlock; 5th February 2009 at 02:35 PM. |

I found this 18th century Indian khanda with what seems to be a 16th century Styrian blade, the tip missing and the lower portion of the blade altered but the eyelash marks clearly visible.
It failed to sell in an auction of Herman Historica, Munich, October 6, 2008. Any comments welcome. Michael |
