And the first one is a Darkwood Armory "ringhilt" rapier. They make modern repro, of course. Their products are rather good, if one obviates some weight issues in a few of their models.

The one shown here is Catalog Number AVBN #58. Go HERE for Darkwood's general catalog and HERE for what they call the "ringhilt" rapiers.

No way one is going to find an original rapier at these prices, I'm afraid.
