SUPERBLY CONSTRUCTED ELEGANT GILDED GERMAN RAPIER CIRCA 1540. Description:Â As previously stated under the Norman typology, the sword under discussion has a Hilt 50 with an inner guard 9, a spherical octagonal pommel type 15,Â straight swelling quadrilateral quillions tips,Â a short rectangular ricasso where the fuller originates and extends almost to the tip on both sides, the blade of a stiff diamond-section tapering to a point. Hilt-gilded, original wood grip core. Condition #2. Â Length:Â approximately 43.4 inches. Comparables: –Wallace Collection Cat. No. A576. –The Odescalchi Collection, Rome Inv. # 426. –Musee de l Armee paris Inv # p.O. 1904 Provenance:Â From a private European collection. Conclusion:Â An elegant rapier whichÂ sadly has some pitting. The good news is that theÂ slight pitting makes it very affordable. If this sword were in mint condition, it would sell for five times its asking price! Even worse would be captive in a museum long ago and now not available in the collectors market at an affordable price. Â In summary:Â A very reasonably priced sword that has a lot of value for the money. If you ever wanted an early world-class rapier but don&#acute;t have a massive bank account, I urge you toÂ ACT NOWÂ and strike whileÂ theÂ iron is hot.Â Even if you do not collect rapiers, it&#acute;s always good to have one in a collection because they were such an important part of Renaissance Europe. Priced to sell very quickly atÂ underÂ $4,000!!!*

GERMAN PIERCED CUP HILT RAPIER WITH BLADE INSCRIPTION CIRCA 1650: . Description:Â The cup is decorated with deeply pierced floral/vine decoration, an original grip, and a tapering blade with the inscription¦..Â X IN X SOLINGEN XÂ Â x¦. in a deep, short fuller. The knuckleÂ guard and quillons are decorated en suite with roping, and the quillons swell as they reach their tips.Â Length:Â 47.5 inches.Â Condition:Â #1. DiscussionÂ In a day and age lacking appropriate policing, the private citizen was forced to protect himself from society&#acute; criminal dregs. The weapon of choice was the rapier from the middle of the 16th to the end of the 17th century. The rapier is a simple but highly effective sword against the non-armored. The rapier was primarily a thrusting weapon that could inflict serious injury to an adversary&#acute; vital organs with minimal effort. It was also an exceptional slashing and cutting weapon; however, the slash was not as lethal as the thrust. The slash was used more as a feint to set up a finishing thrust. The slash was also a dire warning to a would-be assailant of the horrors to quickly follow if he chose not to acquiesce. The rapier is almost undeniably of Spanish origin and is probably Spain&#acute; most significant contribution to the Renaissance arms race. A highly expensive, ornate rapier was the equivalent of a person in our day and age making a fashion or opulence statement by wearing very expensive jewelry, such as a Rolex or Audemars Piguet watch. Because fencing is more of a thrusting art, it became commonplace throughout Europe to have as long a blade as possible to obtain an advantage. This extravagance in length reached the point that municipalities passed statutes regarding the allowable lengths of blades. Those in violation had the misfortune of having their rapier&#acute; blades cropped at the tip at the city gate to comply. One example of these statues is from an English Royal Proclamation on March 17, 1557. The French adopted the phrase &156;espee rapiere&157; by 1475, which later was shortened to simply &156;rapiere&157; the English in 1505 spelled it &156;rappyer.&157; The Giles Duwes English/ French dictionary of 1532/3 adopted the rapiers definition as &156;Spannyshe sworde.&157; By 1550, the term rapier had been adopted to describe a slender, sharply pointed sword designed for thrusting, cutting, and slashing attacks. The rapier now consisted of a hilt protected by a handguard. Provenance:Â From the private collection of a rapierÂ aficionado who only collects the absolute best. Comparables: Any arms and armor museum or private world-class collection. Conclusion:Â An exquisite addition to any collection. This cup hilt rapier is in museum condition and swords in this condition seldom are available in the collectors market. Priced to sell today forÂ underÂ $5K for a quick sale. Don&#acute;t hesitate-Act Now !!!!* All my items come with the following: “Free shipping. “10-day review period. “Certificate of Authenticity. “Â Free autographed copy of my book if you do not have one.

BLACK, GILDED AND DECORATED ITALIAN RAPIER CIRCA 1580 WITH MAKERS MARK:. Description:Â Under the Norman classification, this is a hilt 57.Â Constructed with aÂ fuller about a third the lengthÂ of aÂ strong diamond-sectionÂ blade thatÂ tapersÂ to a very sharp point,Â aÂ rectangular outlinedÂ ricasso stamped with aÂ makers markÂ in the lower bottom center, a chevron shape at the quillon block,Â a typeÂ 32 pommel with aÂ buttonÂ at the finial.Â The hilt with a black finish was probably refreshed and decorated with gilded half-spheres; the fuller decorated en suite with gilded half sphere,Â replacedÂ grip with Turk&#acute;s heads.Â Two repairs to the counter guard, rapiers like this were used for fighting, not ballet.Â Â Â Length: 44.5Â inches. Discussion:Â Military rapiers were longer and usually of strongerÂ blade manufacture than your average civilian rapier.Â Military rapiersÂ were also exemptÂ fromÂ lengthÂ restrictions.Â Because fencing is more of a thrusting art, it became commonplace throughout Europe to have as long a blade as possible to obtain an advantage. This extravagance in length reached the point that municipalities passed statutes regarding the allowable lengths of blades. Those in violation had the misfortune of having their rapier blade cropped at the tip at the city gate to comply. One example of these statues is from an English Royal Proclamation on March 17, 1557. The earliest illustration of this sword type is in a 1588 portrait of John Shirley, currently housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art (#51.194.2). It is also illustrated in a portrait of Luccio Foppa circa 1585 by Giovani Antonio Figino. Â In a day and age lacking appropriate policing, the private citizen was forced to protect himself from society&#acute; criminal dregs. The weapon of choice was the rapier from the middle of the 16th to the end of the 17th century. The rapier is a simple but highly effective sword against the non-armored. The rapier was primarily a thrusting weapon that could inflict serious injury to an adversary&#acute; vital organs with minimal effort. It was also an exceptional slashing and cutting weapon; however, the slash was not as lethal as the thrust. The slash was used more as a feint to set up a finishing thrust. The slash was also a dire warning to a would-be assailant of the horrors to quickly follow if he chose not to acquiesce. The rapier is almost undeniably of Spanish origin and is probably Spain&#acute;sÂ most significant contribution to the Renaissance arms race. A highly expensive, ornate rapier was the equivalent of a person in our day and age making a fashion or opulence statement by wearing very expensive jewelry, such as a Rolex or Audemars Piguet watch. Â The French adopted the phrase &#acute;espee rapiere&#acute;Â by 1475, which later was shortened to simply &#acute;rapiere. The English in 1505 spelled it &#acute;rappyer. The Giles Duwes English/ French dictionary of 1532/3 adopted the rapiers definition as &#acute;”Spannyshe sworde”. By 1550, the term rapier had been adopted to describe a slender, sharply pointed sword designed for thrusting, cutting, and slashing attacks. The rapier now consisted of a hilt protected by a handguard. Comparables:Â Similar examplesÂ of type 57’sÂ can be found in: “ The Musee de l Armee in Paris (Cat no. 1379). “ The Wallace Collection (Cat no. 621). Provenance:Â From a private collectorÂ in AustriaÂ who seldom, if ever, sells his best !!!* Conclusion:Â This is an elegant sword with a fighting past. I like the decoration and the condition. This rapier is very reasonably priced atÂ underÂ $4K.Â This is a rare opportunity. Act now so that you won&#acute;t be disappointed!!!* All my items come with the following: “Free shipping. “10-day review period. “Certificate of Authenticity. “Â Free autographed copy of my book if you do not have one. “Â In the event of an international shipment, we will help assign the lowest correct Customs tariff so you pay the least as low as 5% or even nothing. I believe you will be very pleased.

Nation : Spanish
Local Price : Price on request

EXCEPTIONAL, ELEGANT, AND IMPORTANT SILVER-ENCRUSTED GERMAN SWEPT HILT RAPIER, CIRCA 1590. Description:Â Under the Norman typology, this would be a Hilt 75 with a type 34 pommel, flat and slightly widening to the tip rectangular quillons, a short rectangular ricasso with a short fuller approximately a fourth the length of the blade, the remaining blade with a double-edged blade of flattened hexagonal sections tapering to a point,Â the hilt decorated en suite with encrustedÂ silver on a russet background, flowing designs of fruit, foliage, and masks, showing no repairs. , ReplacedÂ grip but original wood core, Turk&#acute;s heads. Approximate dimensions:Â LengthÂ 48 inches, bladeÂ lengthÂ 41 inches,Â guard lengthÂ 8.75 inches. Comparable:Â This typology is illustrated in the 1589 engraving by Hendrick Goltzius of Jacques de la Faille. The second is a painting by Pietro Damini titled &156;Silvestro Valier Receiving the Keys To Padua,&157; presumably painted in 1619, the year of the event. Comparables: A similar example can be found in: “The Musee de l Armee in Paris (Cat no. J192). “The Wallace Collection (Cat no. A606 and A565). -The Earliest Illustration of This Sword Type Is in an equestrian portrait by Rubens circa 1610, almost certainly of Archduke Albrecht, currently housed at Windsor Castle #282. Publication:Â The Collectors Course On Medieval Arms and Armor,2021, Garcia, page 259. Provenance: -Andrew Garcia -From a very well-known private world-class collector and dealer who was thinningÂ his collection at age 82. -Joe Kindig Jr. (1898-1971) Discussion:Â Â In a day and age lacking appropriate policing, the private citizen was forced to protect himself from society&#acute; criminal dregs. The weapon of choice was the rapier from the middle of the 16th to the end of the 17th century. The rapier is a simple but highly effective sword against the non-armored. The rapier was primarily a thrusting weapon that could inflict serious injury to an adversary&#acute; vital organs with minimal effort. It was also an exceptional slashing and cutting weapon; however, the slash was not as lethal as the thrust. The slash was used more as a feint to set up a finishing thrust. The slash was also a dire warning to a would-be assailant of the horrors to quickly follow if he chose not to acquiesce. The rapier is almost undeniably of Spanish origin and is probably Spain&#acute; most significant contribution to the Renaissance arms race. A highly expensive, ornate rapier was the equivalent of a person in our day and age making a fashion or opulence statement by wearing very expensive jewelry, such as a Rolex or Audemars Piguet watch. Because fencing is more of a thrusting art, it became commonplace throughout Europe to have as long a blade as possible to obtain an advantage. This extravagance in length reached the point that municipalities passed statutes regarding the allowable lengths of blades. Those in violation had the misfortune of having their rapier&#acute; blades cropped at the tip at the city gate to comply. One example of these statues is from an English Royal Proclamation on March 17, 1557. The French adopted the phrase &#acute;Ã
