MRL German Rapier

Has anyone seen or handled their new #1-475 German rapier. I just ordered it today. I would really like to see a picture of the original in the Wallace Collection.

Hello Stephen!

What is your experience with the blade? Could you share some of your experiences?

Do you know if there is a European distributor for it?

Thanks,
Akos

I'm very curious, when they say "diamond cross section" do they mean a real diamond cross section or flattened diamond?
And they mention it's stiff, is that so? They're known for their rapiers being pointy schlagers, and last I read on their website (though it was a while ago) they were actually saying rapiers were SUPPOSED to be extra flexible!
