 AGREED!
So, that got me thinking.  With this gem being part of a larger lot, I wonder if the other items at all match the item we've been discussing.  
Below is a picture of the whole lot (acquired for less than the cost of 5 tanks of petrol - which if I work from home for 3 weeks due to COVID-19, I will come out ahead of the game). I'm particularly curious about the rapier blade and hilt, and the brass hilted small sword. These are the actual auction pictures.
