17th Century Colonial period Spanish Cup Hilt Rapier also called a Soldier's Sword and Caribbean Rapier. A classic sword produced by blacksmiths and cutlers in the New World, a cruder version of contemporary Continental swords that lacked aesthetic concerns and were utilitarian and functional weapons more readily produced. The well made hand forged steel blade has the beautiful dark coloration of a life at sea. There is a single crack through the length of the wooden grip but it is still tight and has no movement on the tang. There is wear through the cup near the blade and a nick (battlescar) with folded metal on the edge of the cup. Would look great displayed with your other pirate booty.Buyer must certify that they are a US citizen or permanent resident and that they are purchasing for personal use.
