There are two nice Valencia rapiers pictured in Norman. From Paris invalides.

There are a couple of good books on the Catalonian side. The first one has some pictures of interesting models and marks, but after 1714. The second one is mostly about fireweapons.

The cover on one of the editions of Swords and hilt weapons has a nice Barcelona sword from XVIIIth century.

This is a smallsword from Valencia.

Dish attachment through 4 screws in a lozenge, as some 1728 cavalry swords.

Midelburgo, thank you so much for this, and the VALENCIA sword!!! It seems these are so little seen in our part of the world....not sure how often seen over there. I really appreciate all your input on this topic!
