We had an Alchem blade made to simulate Meyer's side-sword or rapier, rappier.

Cool review - seems like a good buy. :geek:

By the way - is that rappier named after the insane Spaniard of the Herzog film? :?:

Wrath of God! Lord of a raft and monkeys. There are rumors that the director has to use a gun on Klaus to get him to stay on the set, which consisted of a jungle.

As for the sword, we are more or less pleased with it, but the wait time is long. I hate to harp on that, but I do not like giving people money, then wondering if they have just 'run off' with it. Don't buy till you contact the owner, and get some time-frame guesstimates so you at least know when to email him reminders to get your work done.
