Hi

I was checking out AYLWARD, J.D. THE SMALL SWORD IN ENGLAND its History, its Forms, its Makers, and is Masters pp 64, 74-75. In this book he makes mention that brass cast hilted small swords often had earlier rapier blades cut down as required. I think this has an earlier rapier blade, I just wish I could match the letters with a known maker.

Cheers Cathey
