Your thoughts on this rapier?

Thank you for you'r kind words Werecow !
Yes I believe it is " the green man" although a bit with a brownish black tan.
Now that you mention it, I have not seen this type of pommel with the green man on it before. Although it's not an uncommon type of decoration, it appears hilts to and suits of armour from the same period.
I did no know there was a collector who collects rapier this period in Leiden either. Here is a better picture taken in daylight, im not a good photographer certainly not with an 80 dollar cam.
Kind regards
Ulfbert
