Hi Gonzalo,
Thanks for posting. I'm going to have to try and muddle through with babelfish! ;-) Any paragraphs you think are particularly relevant to my sword? Brilliant material. :-) Thanks Gene |

There's currently one very similar on EBay, with different grips and shell-guard art. Auction ended sans sale, item 120332175778

Gene, I apologize for not seeing your question before. I have the bad habit of not subscribing to the threads, as I post just a little, and I thought the thread was inactive. About the references: from the Gladius article, they refer to the style and characteristics of the Sahagun´s rapiers. Please traslate:
pag. 239, last two paragraphs pag. 240, first two paragraphs (the mention of the sword found un Sueden, is refered to a work from Sahagun) pag. 241, second paragraph The marks or stamps form the toledan swordsmiths, on the book, appear in the Plate 2, at the end of the book. Regards Gonzalo |

Well, thats rather exciting!!! Thanks Manuel!!! I cant resist a comparison shot:   It's like my rapier has a skinny sister!! And she's a babe ;-) length is about the same, its clearly the same 'family' of sword. Very thin duelling blade? Comments anyone?

Interesting, both have one quillon larger than the other.
BTW: The grip on Gonzalo's can be found in the Spanish 1728' Regulation Model. Quote:
