c. 1600 Rare Italian Brandestoc - Buttafuori
Rare example of Italy's past. Most likely coming from lombardia Italy. Officers carried these inside small buildings and carriages. They are about the size of a cane, but with one forceful move, the blade comes out of the shaft and it's used as a polearm. This example is decorated with a chiselled dragon head, the tail serving as a sword catcher. CLICK HERE FOR MORE PHOTOS.

English Rapier Sword c.1610-1630
Large example of a fine english cup hilt rapier. Blade is original and is unique because it is single edged. The same maker created a sword almost identical in book, example 28. The fine silver work is almost all missing on my sword. Traces are left intact on the hilt and pommel. The blade in Peter Finer's book also is single edged and identical to shape and size. Handle has been professionally rewrapped at some point. CLICK HERE FOR MORE PHOTOS.

Spanish Rapier Sword c.1650-1700
Large simple example of a Spanish rapier sword. blade is marked IHM Solingen (usually IHS - religious meaning) Like many Spanish rapier swords, the pommel screws off. This is not an indencation that it is a reproduction. This was a design decision so it was easy to repair the sword. If the pommel was riveted in place, the armorer would have to hammer the piece apart and usually shorten the blade tang. blade length 38 3/4 inches. (98.5cm) overall length 46in (116.5cm) 10 3/4 inch guard.
