Very Long Antique French Late Renaissance Rapier Sword. 37 1/2 blade, 44 1/2 total.Most of these swords were kept on the walls of сhateaux throughout France and Italy and passed down from generation to generation, they were very well looked after, so this one is in very good condition: unsharpened blade, no deep pitting. Brought from France after the end of World War II.But it could be a Victorian copy as well. Renaissance weapons and armor became extremely popular in Victorian Europe and were often reproduced in the same armouries as 200 years earlier, unfortunately they are very difficult to distinguish.
