This hilt of this small-sword is silver-washed cast and hand-chased bronze. The quality of the decorative work on the hilt is quite outstanding and detailed, with classical figures, hunting motifs and baroque scrolls. Every aspect of the hilt is decorated. An interesting features it the presence of the small eagle head finial on the pommel.
The blade is from a cut-down 17th century cup-hilt rapier, quite stiff, 78 cm long, rhomboid in cross-section, with a single central fuller on either side. The balance on this lovely sword is outstanding.
