<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 385617, member: 6444&quot;]I have a rapier that I believe to be quite old, so I was going to post it to swordforum.com since that seemed to have a number of knowledgeable folks, but there is no way to create an account there due to out of date links and lack of maintenance, so I guess it isn&#039;t worth posting there. I ran across vikingsword.com as an alternative and am waiting to join there. I&#039;ll post some pics here in case anyone has any knowledge about antique rapiers, or can recommend the best forum specializing in old (not reproduction) swords these days. As far as I can tell the sword is an 16th/17th century Italian swept-hilt rapier with diamond blade. Don&#039;t think it is reproduction or made up of parts. Anyone have any swords or reference books on Renaissance rapiers?[ATTACH=full]133477[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]133479[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]133480[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]133481[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]133482[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]133483[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
