What is it?
Hello,
In the inheritance from our deceased member Robert was this sword found, I have no clue what this sword is nor if it is an original. I would be glad when you could tell me more about this sword. Sorry, it's the only picture I have from it. Last edited by Sajen; 9th March 2026 at 11:35 AM. |

Hi Sajen,
it is a 19th century neo renaissance sword made to look like a 17th c sword. They made a mistake in the style as the blade , grip and pommel are that of a sword and the crossguard and its basket resembles a 17th c rapier. So they combined two different types that did not exist in this combination in the period they were worn. |

Blade is wrong - it has no ricasso.
Grip is too long. Hilt has varying details on the quillon and knuckleguard ends, which is a usual sign of a modern copy. |
