dennyIt looks like I might be getting one of these from my sister this Xmas... which is quite fun :)
I've decided I want a rapier too, although I haven't seen one that's quite right yet. I suspect I'll have to go see them in person rather than just poking around websites, as I want something I can actually practise with, so it needs a decent balance etc. I don't see the point in owning a sword if I can't flourish it from time to time :) (in the relative safety of my own house/garden, I assure you!)
Irritatingly, the closest thing I've seen so far to the shape of blade I'm looking for is this US Marine Sword, which I resent on the general grounds that it's American.
Ideally I'd like something a little more 'three musketeers' than that anyway, although I'm not keen on bell guards so I'm not really sure what it is I'm looking for. I suspect I'll know when I see it, and probably not before...
