Rare & Important 17th Century Spanish Cup Hilt Rapier / Backsword!. Here is a very rare and early Spanish cup hilt rapier in "untouched" condition (all original) with a beautifully chiseled hilt! Its gadrooned turban pommel has a tall integral capstan that has never been re-peened (so hilt has some looseness – we like it like that as it only attests to the swords purity). Original wound steel grip wire with alternating bands of twisted copper is intact (a tiny old iron staple secures the loose bottom end on reverse). Both ferrules and even both langets are nicely chiseled en-suite with the rest of hilt. The guard-de-pulvo is also decorated in the form of sun rays. The cross guard and knuckle guard are nicely twisted with button terminals. The edge of the cup is chiseled with rope-work as is the bottom of cup! Its 38“ blade is of the back-sword type (Rigid with spine and sharpened on one side only). A great rarity that allows a sturdy thrust and a slashing cut. It is engraved with a cross and geometric designs on both sides that look very Aztec (some wear). Perhaps the designs were engraved in the Americas after the conquest of the Aztec peoples. Possibly owned by a conquistadore in the New World. We can find no other explanation for this. Whatever the case, this sword is a great rarity as far as Spanish cup hilts go. An old collection inventory number is inside the cup. Details of collection will go to purchaser. Price is firm. Thanks for looking! Be sure to check out our other listings for more great swords!
