17th Century - 18th Century Cup Hilt Rapier marked "IN" (?)  "SOLINGEN".
Total length of sword is 44 1/2". German made blade measures 33". Quillions measure 12" across.
The blade is marked with what looks like "IN", but difficult to read. Likely for Johannes. Followed by "SOLINGEN".
Good wire wrapped grip is all intact and tight. Medium + pitting to the blade.
All tight and nothing loose. Overall an excellent example of an early military rapier sword. Still fully functional!
This sword was in a private collection for a very long time.
