Hello, this is the first part of a 17th c rapier blade for wich someone made a grip resembling a lollock dagger wich is supposed to be about 200 years earlier.
The Name Heinich brabander is found on Pappenheimer rapiers and rapiers at the beginning of the 17th c but also on much later types of cup hilt rapiers as late as early 18th c. So this is the first part of a 17th c blade with a newly made grip that is historical not fitting, i realize thats not pleasant to hear but you asked.
kind regards
Ulfberth
