Two latest Landsknecht period rapiers, 1540's-50's - and actual earliest type rapiers - , photographed by the author in the military museum of Pague, located on the famous Hradschin, in 1997 - when earliest items where still on display there ...
I must say that when trying to access their obvious newly set-up dislay after some seven years of being closed to the publlic these days, I was totally shocked to be confronted with what seeems to be their topic presentation...
Where on earth has the beautiful old stuff gone?!
Best,
Michael
