At the Madrid Royal Armoury there is dish hilt rapier with a flamberge blade that belonged ro Felipe IV. Toledo Factory made replicas in the last third of XIXth century of this and other rapiers and these can be quite deceiving and not always marked. Page from c1910 catalogue. They were produced for so long that variations are common. I have seen later wall hangers modeled on the factory copy, too, without the dish in the example at the bottom.
