More a bump than anything else!
Just wanting to recap and try and decide if we've actually decided anything concrete about my sword?

So, it may not stricly be regarded as simply a Bilbo, not that bilbo is anything more than a victorian collectors term anyway, but you know what I mean.

So what would we call it?
'Spanish Rapier'?

The Blade Inscription purports to be the makers name and not the place of origin.

Some of its elements seem to indicate an early date, some a later date.

And thats it?
