33 3/8” flattened diamond section blade with line bordered narrow fuller to the forte. Gilt brass hilt with heart-shaped guard and straight cross guard with curved counter guards. The tang within the guard is encased in a gilt sleeve in the Spanish taste. Swelled knuckle bow and ridged inverted pear-shaped pommel. The hilt with about 90% original fire gilt finish. The guard retains nearly all the gold with original amalgam brush marks visible. Intricate copper wire wrapped grip the upper half inch raveled with small loss and secured with glue. Otherwise, it is untouched with great age character. In The Rapier and Smallsword, by A V B Norman, the author dates this hilt form as C.1720 and after. This example dates from the earliest, with the symmetrical and near flat guard, as opposed to the rounded asymmetrical section found in later examples.
