Oh my, I sure wish I was around when you let go of it! Not only the blade, but the inlaid hilt is gorgeous. I like inlay work so much better than the damascene or overlay work because the designs are more precise and durable.

Hi Philip, I never owned the gold inlay rapier, it really got away at auction.
