Cup-hilted rapier

[qusko]

Fernando, Jim - thank you for all your answers.

To add to that thread, I've found some other not typical example, with the cup fixed by screws not on the top of the cup, but on the sides of the cup. Adding here to keep it in the same place.

Same system (as yours). Only in this case the arm inside (pas d'ane) is shorter.

Not clear why but unless you took it, it looks to me like this picture has been altered or there is at least some sort of artefact in it (EDIT: not entirely impossible that this is an image compression artefact now that I think about it); there is a kind of blocky area in the picture right where the arm ends that seems to be a copy/pasted repeated bit from elsewhere in the picture (note the faint horizontal and vertical lines and the repeated bits of texture indicated by the arrows).

Maybe the other arm also extends beyond what we can see... Although the location of the screw still seems to be different.

... From what i infer that, my attempt to transmit the idea in an 'easy' graphic manner, was a failure .
Perhaps this way things are more clear.

Well at least I now know I can tell a photoshop "from some of the pixels".
