my latest sword

[sonofagraver]

16th century Spanish cup hilt rapier that I made for the queen of a local reenactment group

better shot of the cup

 

[Willem Parel]

Very nicely done, did you make the cup out of flat sheet and deepen it by hammering?
Thanks for the extra pic.

raised it from a sheet
did the repose rose, the engraving, the cut work than the rope work this is a progress shot so it is still a little rough in this shot
