Even being a novice with blades, I wondered about that myself. The blade style and width at the hilt looks more like a rapier blade than the blades you typically see on these "court style" small swords. But it's attractive looking. Maybe a 17th Century blade and an 18th Century hilt ? Or am I wishing for too much ? LOL
I'm going to try and buy this sword.
