Help with old Spanish? rapier

[Chris Evans]

Hi Conogre,

I tend to agree with what you say. I have seen some rather attractive 19th century rapier and medieval repros. They were well made, but after handling them it was obvious that they were not meant for actual use; They had the usual flaws that plague repros: Over-heavy blades, poor edge geometry, and a general lack of strength in the furniture. Wall hangers.

Cheers
Chris
