17th C. Spanish Colonial Steel & Brass Cup Hilt Rapier

Item Details

Description

Western Europe, Spain or Mexico, Colonial era, ca. 17th to 18th century CE. A fine forged-steel sword with a brass cup guard and ornate grip and pommel. The blade is a double edged, with two fuller grooves that run halfway down the blade. A maker mark within an oval and an etched name, perhaps the owner, is engraved into the ricasso just above the cup guard. The quillons protrude at right angles to the blade, and below is a bow-shaped knuckle guard that nearly touches the pommel. The wooden grip is capped by brass spacers decorated with foliate motifs, and then bound with a twisted brass wire. The pommel is elegant brass diamond shape with a hole through the finial tip, perhaps for additional ornamentation or a tassel. Size: 7.5" W x 38.125" H (19 cm x 96.8 cm); blade: 31.125" H (79.1 cm)
