Maybe a new collection?

I've already got started, now all I need is money. I wonder if the casinos are open again..........

Very cool.

These are souvenir swords?

These are souvenir swords?

Knowing Ringel, they're probably authentic. I think the one on the left is known as the "wristbeaker".

I can't show the one I have as it was a family member's, but it's beautiful and intricately engraved.

It is a big pigsticker.

Great idea! Lujan Grisham didn't anything about banning those in the 505!

Are you looking to collect swords in general, or rapiers specifically?

At this point I'm pretty much done for now. Heck (not blade related) my C&R renewal just showed up, I will not be renewing.

Believe it or not they're not fighting swords, more decorative. A decent fighting sword will cost double, an excellent fighting sword runs into the thousands.
However people buy the same rapier I have and put a fighting blade on it. Apparently the hilt/grip is extremely well made and quite authentic. The blade that's on it now is heavy, dull and unbalanced.

It always amazes me the quality of work they did back in the days before power tools.

I'll see if I can find the ones I bought overseas and post a pic. I know I bought one in Madrid, and I think one in Japan.
