Craig forwarded those photos to me before and my jaw dropped. 10 years later, it's still just as impressive.

Nice sword, and I love the chiseled details! It's not often that one sees a repro rapier in the English style of the mid-1600s.
Is the pommel an authentic antique? It looks like I can see some silver punchwork that I don't see on the rest of the hilt.

Hi Eljay
Good to talk to you its been to long. The pommel is a cast from a mold of an original. Some of the other detail are inspired by elements from originals as well as far as the detail and motif.

Those look like A&A Still Life photographs. You guys really know how to do 17th century swords.

How long is the blade, the OAL of the sword and the weight? I don't have a rapier, but I always thought I would probably go with A&A for my first one when that inevitable day comes.
Looks great!
