Love it. Haven't seen many good cup holy repos--well done.

That's a very nice example of the type. Well done.

Museum piece, as in, this should be in a museum. Absolutely lovely and well executed.

That looks incredible. Thank you so much for posting those pictures. I just wish it was mine. And your English is VERY good.

Wonderful... my favorite style of rapier. Would love to hold it...
