 |

We are in search of a real french or italian rapier from the end of 16th and first half of the 17th century.
In search for an original two-hander (not a parade or decorative one)We also don't want the two meters long thing. We need something relatively short like 55' to 60''
We are also in search of a court sword (smallsword) from the first half of 18th.
I know most people don't have those things but if you know a dealer or anyone who can help me it should be great. Of course we are looking for one of these articles, not for all (money question).

Marc-Antoine,
If you're looking to buy antiques from one of our readers, then this forum is appropriate. If you're looking for dealer recommendations, then please post that question in our Off-Topic forum.

Mathew, I'm sure others are interested in your collection, what's your date range of antiques and can we see some pictures of them.
