By the way: These swords of the Munic city guard are known as "Standler Rapiers".

Excellent input Corrado, thank you!
Interesting note to the colloquially used term 'Stantler rapiers' for these Munich town guard swords. It seems that the Munich produced examples were made by that maker (see my post #4).....and it was long popularly held apparently that these were 'all' made in Munich...however it seems some Solingen examples produced as well.
