Ornate Rapier Italy, Milan, ca. 1570. Elaborately openwork-carved and finely cut iron hilt with traces of a copper base, suggesting that it was originally fire-gilded. Hollow pommel with six florally decorated ribs and riveted pommel knobs. The crossguard, third ring, and its extension, as well as the ends of the guard bars, are en suite with openwork decorative knots. An old brass solder joint on the rear finger ring. Bulbous tang with wire winding between Turkish knots, likely added in the 18th century. Double-edged ridge blade (L 100.4 cm) with a pronounced rhombic cross-section and a 7.5 cm-long blunt edge. On the pommel, a four-pointed Milanese cross. The blade has likely been acid-cleaned and shows clear signs of wear. L 117.2 cm, W 1160 g.
