A Good German Rapier, ca. 1575, the blade struck with 'eyelash' marks

thank you, it is from the Carl beck collection.

the Sursee Museum (Carl Beck collection) auctioned via Bonham's London a lot of beautiful original swords from their depots in order to free some cash for renovations.
when I see the catalog now, I should have bought a few more very rare pieces.

(it is funny that you only regret the things you did not do.)
