Here some pic from a cup hilt rapier .
It has a long blade circa 104 cm and overall 121 cm
Blade marks : TOMAS in one side and AIALA in the other side.
Also there is on each side a “cross” stamped and other symbol too ,would like to know if it is only for decoration or there is any signification ..
Also I’m wondering if this sword could be late 17 th century or Early 18 th century ? Military or civilian use.

Any comment on it will be welcome .
