  • Culture: European, made in Dresden, Germany
  • Medium: engraved steel [blade]; blackened iron, pierced and engraved silver, wood, silver wire [hilt]; pierced and engraved silver, wood, leather [scabbard]
  • Measurements: pommel: 2 1/2 × 2 13/16 inches (6.3 × 7.1 cm). Blade: 11/16 × 42 3/8 inches (1.8 × 107.6 cm). Width (quillons): 9 15/16 inches (25.2 cm). Depth: 5 13/16 inches (14.8 cm). Scabbard: 2 1/2 inches × 7/8 inches × 3 feet 2 1/2 inches, 8.1 ounces (6.4 × 2.3 × 97.8 cm, 230g)

The blade was made by the bladesmith Andrea Ferrara, Italian (active Belluno, between 1550 - 1583). The silver mounts of the rapier and the scabbard are probably by silversmith Wendel unter den Linden, German (active Dresden, between 1566 - 1593, died before 1610).
