all the weapons you have recently posted seem recently made to me and all from the same workshop.
very creative but it has nothing to do with original weapons, do you make these yourself and for what purpose?

A secret place for poison......SURELY this MUST be a Borgia stilletto!
I still think this blade MIGHT be authentic, the markings are pretty convincing.......but being among this stable of weapons being presented en masse, it is hard to imagine what became of the rest of the original rapier.
