I can't see the surface of the pommel enough, does it have the same pitting?
It is the correct model pommel for this rapier.

Kind regards

Hi Urfberth,
Thank you very much for your imput about this rapier.
Yes the pommel has the same pitting ,I aggree your opinion that this sword could have a re-used blade changed in working period as all elements are in the same state of conservation with the same pitting.

Best
