Please help ID this sword
I want to give this sword to a friend but I don’t know much about it other than it is a rapier. Can you help ID the maker and type of rapier?

I think Its a Del Tin Italian 3 Ring Rapier? ( Please someone correct me if I am wrong) Did you put the rubber blunt on the tip? I see the Del Tin mark, I like them. If you go to the https://www.kultofathena.com/?s=Del+Tin&post_type=product&dgwt_wcas=1 you can see how much their swords run.

The maker is Del Tin. They make pretty good swords. Not the top of the line swords like Albion or Valiant, but not budget options either

Thats gorgeous, i need to be your friend lol. The stanping says Del Tin which makes teally good swords. But it may be an older model because i cant find anything like it yet. Their current ones can run around $300 or $500+

It's certainly a rapier alright. 'Fraid I can't really elaborate on the type, but fortunately with your close up shots of the markings on the blade you can tell it's made by Del Tin thanks to the handy 'DEL TIN' stamped on the blade. Del Tin are definitely a known brand and a quick Google tells me it's certainly not a cheap wall hanger that'll fall apart if you try to swing it. Definitely a good, solid sword and you'll have a very lucky friend if you don't decide to keep it for yourself!

Looks a lot like its based on this one, but enough differences to tell its probably not from museum replicas. Cristos Imperat

It’s a Toledo Salamanca broadsword, worth about a million bucks.
