Hi Fernando,

congratulations with your very nice and extremely rare early rapier.

I specialy really love it because Im a lefthander myself

I found a similair one, a ground find in Holland. It is dated 1560-1570 and probably Dutch.
I also think your rapier is of the third quarter of the 16thC.

best regards

Thanks once again.
