# RARE early 17th C. English Pappenheimer Raper sword

Status: Sold · Region: Europe · Type: Other

A great and very finely made early 17th C. English pappenheimer rapier. This example is very well made, with all original parts with no fiddling. The blade is marked with the Solingen wolf on each side, and also with the heavy and deep set stamp of Joahnnes Wundes, who suppled many blades to England in the early 17th C. The handle has the original green wire wrapping and even a very old and likely fighting period leath washer to be able to hold the handle comfortably.

Overall length is 45", blade is 35"
