Gentlemen,

I would really appreciate your input on the last swords I posted.

Kind regards

Manouchehr

Manouchehr;

The combination "Rapier and Musket Rest" is a VERY interesting sword (I've seen others, but always fun to see more). And I love that hand-and-a-half with a complex guard. THAT is very nice, too.

Thanks again for posting your photo's, you're providing us with a real treat!

Cheers!

Gordon

Manouchehr;



Yes, it's a Lance Arrét, for supporting the weight of the heavy lance during the charge. Usually for jousting, but also used in war as well.
