This is most interesting! I must admit I have never heard of a 'rapier pendant' and would like to know more about this. Beyond that, the use of the rapier in Poland seems pretty esoteric, though of course obviously there must have been some degree of its presence.

Jim, you will find some simple examples HERE.
But i know of a high end one in one of these well known books; just don't remember which.
