A Large Spanish Cup Hilt

Casey,

congratulations with this fine pierced cup hilt rapier !

Acometa quien quiera, el fuerte espera is a proverb written by César Oudin in 1609.

Proverbe en espagnol : « Acometa quien quiera, el fuerte espera. »
Traduction française : « Attaque qui voudra, le brave l'attendra. »

So free translated it means , Attack whoever wants, the brave are waiting !

I can only imagine what the owner must have felt holding this rapier in his hands while these lyrics went trough his mind ...

Kind Regards

Ulfberth
