Lot 213 - MILITARY RAPIER OR CAVALRY SWORD W ENGRAVED PATTERN

A military rapier or cavalry sword in the style of the late 16th to early 17th centuries. This type of weapon is a transitional form between a heavy medieval sword and a slender dueling rapier. It was designed to be sturdy enough for battlefield use, capable of both powerful cuts and precise thrusts. It features a complex swept hilt with protective rings and an S-shaped crossguard to protect the hand. The pommel is typically globular or scent-stopper shaped to balance the long blade. The blade is straight, double-edged, and relatively wide at the base, tapering to a sharp point. Adorned with engraved foliage pattern. These were popular throughout Europe, particularly in Germany and Spain. Famous blade-making centers like Toledo produced many of these high-quality weapons.
