Hello everybody,

I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping to learn more about arms and armour from the period ?? - 1800.

I collect Dutch swords/sabres from the period ca. 1795 till 1900, but I'm very interested in the older material. The past years I bought some older rapiers, halberds, spontoons and a breastplate and I would like to share these with you.

I could need some help with the identification of some pieces. This is an rapier/sword I recently bought. Its a sleeper. I hope someone can tell me more about it. I don't know if it is an authentic piece, I've got some doubts.

I'm looking forward to your reactions!
