Rapier? Sword?

Thank you for the additional pictures.

Looks like the pommel was shaped and filed after mounting. Not a good sign either.

It's sure not made for battle, and too many signs of modern metalworking techniques.

But still a pretty nice sword and made with a lot of effort.

Rather interesting note. I dont recall ever seen that being done.

The note is too interesting. After looking carefully, it looks punched to fill the gaps.

No filing.
