Rapiers....again!

[DavidEvans]

Does anyone know of any site that will give technical information on rapiers. As in blade length, wideth, depth, shape at tang, shoulder, hilt, mid blade and point, depth of shoulders etc, etc. Sort of like a technical drawing spec

I think I remember one somewhere showing lengths and weights of a certain collection of antiques, but I don't recall where. Keep searching.

These factors vary so much that even arms curators who researched them such as C. Blair avoided even attempting it. There is just so much diversity among them (due to the experimentation going on at the time) that small samples of data of a few dozens pieces don't amount to much it would seem.
