Sorry I'm late commenting on the dagger, I got waylaid it was our 18th anniversary. Just want to say that was the most beautiful restoration you have done to date. We knew when we saw what you had to work with that it was going to be something we've never seen before. You are indeed an artist Alex. Love you Peggy and Tom.
Вот ведь шикарная шпага получилась! Это дворянскся, похоже начало-середина 19 века. Повезло тебе. Прикоснулся своими волшебными руками и оживил прекрасное изделие! Удачи тебе и творческих успехов Мастер!
Французская, времён первой империи, чиновничья, вернее, "дворянина мантии" - скорее всего, судьи, т.к. на эфесе написано "Justice". У военного чиновника было бы "Valeur et Discipline".
@@Mousoroque То что наполеоновская видно по птичке. А вот насчет всего остального большой вопрос. Написано там "Juste", то есть "Справедливый". Орел на эфесе в обрамление рогов, а это егеря. Так что большой вопрос. Нужно смотреть в закромах. К тому же для гражданского персонажа клинок уж больно сложной формы.
Very nicely done. No criticism here, but I just wanted to point out that this is actually called a smallsword and was considered a gentleman's weapon. The rapier was actually significantly longer and wider in the blade. Closer to a backsword than anything. They were still extremely well balanced though since they were primarily a thrusting weapon, but were capable of cutting with varying degrees of success. The smallsword by comparison was really never meant for heavy combat, although there are records of some officers carrying them in combat. They were really more of a fashion statement with the intention of being used in duels of honor. Again, not criticizing, just wanted to give a little more context.
@TheTrueBobDole Spadroons had a flat cross section designed for cutting and thrusting. Usually with a fuller. Typically they would also have a knuckle bow type cross guard without the clamshell portion. The smallsword was not designed for cutting and had very minimal cutting capability. Really only able to deliver light harassing cuts. There is also one called a colicehmarde that is very similar in terms of cross section and design, but the colichemarde had a wider base that very sharply tapers down to a narrow point starting about halfway up the blade.
To be fair, even more classical instructors like Zachary Wylde use the term smallsword and rapier interchangeably which is probably the root of the confusion.
В 90-е годы изготовил шпагу из выпрямленной пружины для защиты семьи от нахальных "крышевателей". Однажды удалось отпугнуть трех ханыг. Но после этого пришлось изготовить револьвер калибра 5,6. Однако "крышеватели" больше не пришли - предпочли безоружных жертв.)))
Удивляюсь даже не восхитительному процессу реставрации, а обширным знаниям Алекса по материалам, химии и т.д. Просто восторг и уважение! 👍👏 А шпага, разумеется, получилась отменная!

A delicate and intricate piece. Looks like the restoration process needed more care and complex techniques than the usual ones we see you do. Excellent job! Thanks for sharing it with us
i don t read the description but when i see the mount and I said to myself, it’s a court sword with French assembly! an officer's or civil servant's sword, the fuse was generally made of wood and mother-of-pearl plates! under Napoleon III !nice job!
Once again, Alex, you have created a stunning restoration of an unusual rapier. I would think that due to the delicate nature of these blades that very few survive intact. This is a beautiful piece and you have excelled in your work, as usual. Thanks for sharing another great video with us. Kind regards from your friend in Australia 🇦🇺, Rob T
Not to be "that guy", but they made so many XIX century smallswords that you can find them everywhere. In some collectors sites, they sell them for LESS money than some modern replicas of movie swords! (Not. Making. This. Up.)
@@notfeedynotlazy then why be that guy, just to show that your experience is different to someone else’s. If you actually read what I said, that I would think due to the delicate nature of these blades that very few survive intact, my opinion. Also, Alex ScrewsAndTools seems to have had the same experience with not having seen many of them.
@@rob13854 No, my friend. Not "few" survive intact. There are a LOT of them surviving intact. LOts and lots of them. Is not a matter of opinion, but of numbers. Plus, Alex' expertise was never ever mentioned in my post, and is irrelevant you mentioning something that was never put in question. As for sharing one's experience... have you considered that you seem quite eager to share your opinion, and get even... irked when it is not acepted, yet seem to be similarly eager to decry others doing exactly the same sharing? Think about it, my freind. Alex has in the past (and NOW _is_ relevant to mention it) worked with swords that he was not familkiar with, and has done so by using the experience of those who have: transmited through the documentation he has searched. One doesn't share one's exerience to "have one's opinion acepted"; but to transmit one's knowledge (whatever it might be) to those who don't have knowledge but opinions. Like teh opinion that blades that are dime a dozen because of too many of them existing are (somehow) scarce.
Ну на самом деле минуты работы над таким изделием это релакс и удовольствие, так что всё считается тебе Алекс! Как всегда лайк в поддержку и пожелания дальнейших успехов! Рукоять конечно не совсем в тему, по идее - дерево, кожа и прокрученная проволока, ну тут уж заказчик - барин. А так всё замечательно, смотрел с удовольствием!
i appreciate your videos so much! they are just great! i learn so much from watching your restoration style. i enjoy your sense of humor and your attention to detail. also, your 'old school' approach to restoration. it is very refreshing to see someone polish, sand and plane the pieces BY HAND! great stuff! მე შენი ყველაზე დიდი ფანი ვარ მეინში, აშშ!
И это называете реставрацией?!? Реставра́ция (лат. restauratio - восстановление). Гарду от патины почистили и пластиковую ручку примандячили? Главное в шпаге, как впрочем в любом холодном оружии, это САМ КЛИНОК! Клинок как был грязно-пятнистый так им и остался, рёбра клинка даже и не пытались восстанавливать. Считаете что восстановили ОРУЖИЕ? ХАЛТУРА.
Восстановление металлических частей куда ни шло, но ручка! Мало того что из пластика, так еще и форма как у отвертки. Но самый трешь это ножны. У этой шпаги ножны из толстой телячьей кожи со вставками, фибрами из тиса. Сам кожаный чулок сшит тройным швом, но никак не склеен, клея там вообще ни капли быть не должно. Знаю о чем говорю, приходилось реставрировать подобную, только медика. Ну а так, на ковер повесить, в самый раз. Руки из правильного места, желание и старание - молодец.
Outstanding display of multi faceted skills required to achieve this amazing result. Your restoration should have made your customer very proud. The gourd never had a chance… Well done sir!!! The Old Army Scout…
You are so talented, Alex. This rapier is now absolutely beautiful. Everything you did, all the time and attention to detail, is incredibly well done. PS -- You're so patient! Beep Beep!
Hello Alex, great work. Iam more familiar with Napoleonic and American swords. This looks like a light infantry sword from the Czars, perhaps the 1870s ? Brilliant job cleaning the various parts. On a side not I would like to understand the process of gold & bluing the blade... not difficult however the mercury requires heating, so a fume hood is required. I always want to restore so many of the old sabers, in my collection is a Model Xlll officer sword with brilliant gilt and bluing.
Hi, thanks for the feedback and information, as for gilding, it's difficult here. In my opinion, you need to have a schematic drawing of the original in order to use the contours correctly. Good luck

Amazing. What I found very useful in polishing brass are military grade wool socks. When I was a cadet I learned this and even in the part time malitia here in the RMR and man our brass was bright
Hello Alex, another great restoration! The amount of time, energy and patience you put into this restoration is unbelievable!!! Great job! You truly are a master of your craft! Thank you for another amazing video! All the very best to You and Yours from Brian in Southern California
Алекс приветсвую,Питер на связи,это парадная шпагат старшего ком состава,она не должна рубить или колоть тыкву))))) рукояти на них делались из кости с латунной проволокой в обмотке,работа как всегда прекрасно но аутентичность не сохранена,а так красиво вышло в общем и целом,но это парадка поэтому можно её было закреативить в оригинал,рубить колоть или резать она не должна была с завода,жаль не видно глаз у льва они обычные или там камни должны были стоять зелёный и красный кригс марин она или пехотная?
Привет! Да тут судя по более знающим из Европы - все же офицерская или дворянская вещь ~ выпуск до второй четверти 19 века. Рукоять там была из слоновой или моржовой кости, но сей материал стоит дороже чем сам предмет.
@@ScrewsAndTools ну а зачем тогда вообще браться за работу, если не обладаешь компетенцией, инструментарием и средствами на расходку...Вы просто убили ее вид, приколхозив какую-то дешевку.
Honestly It's really nice to se a good restoration. It's rough seeing some stuff get ruined by some people on youtube going crazy with grinding and wire wheels.
Thanks for showing this. I really enjoyed it. At the end I understood your decision to assemle a black handle/grip. There's more visual harmony at the end. I immediately subscribed.
It's actually not a rapier, but a sword called a spadroon. I have many in my collection. They are related to each other. Spadroons were mainly for uniform purposes, but were also used as war blades. It's great that you found a triangular bladed one 😁. Most likely French. The blade was probably blued and gilted, and the hilt was probably wood with mother of pearl scales. The original scabbard would have been leather or steel. I'm very happy you got to work on this sword 😁. I love this video. ✨️🤺✨️👍
@@ScrewsAndTools I was hasty with my comment. The blade is that of a small sword rapier. The hilt construction is identical to spadroon hilt types. That's what was confusing me. Maybe it's a combination of the two? 🤔 Anyway I loved this video, and was happy to see you work on a new type of sword. It looks beautiful! ✨️🗡✨️👍
@@ScrewsAndTools Yes. I just purchased a spadroon last night, with a near identical hilt construction. When I saw your video, I jumped to conclusions 😅. Plus, James Earl Jones passed away yesterday, so I was distracted 😢😭.
As 4:25 patience is astounding, in cleaning and sanding and detail. I cannot help but think, given the pattern and age of this sword, that the handle would have been covered in shagreen (sharkskin or manta ray skin, best material of the time to hold grip). Rapier developed to be nimble penetrative weapons, to get into gaps in an opponent's armour , as opposed to whacking away with a broadsword or two handed sword. This one looks to have been ceremonial, or a badge of office. Either way, very nice work.
Thanks for the feedback. According to my research and study of this topic, the handle should be made of ivory. But the price of high-quality bones is more expensive than the item itself
Uh... no. Rapiers weren't developed to thrust into gaps of the arnor; that's what they used longswords (what you call longswords) for. Rapiers were _civilian carry_ weapons developed in teh XVI and XVII centuries, well after the middle ages, and never meant to defeat armor. They were actually not nimbler, at all, than a longsword, both weighting around one and a half kilograms. And this one is not even a rapier; it's a much later weapon, a XIX century French smallsword or "dress sword" (as its name indicates, a smaller version of the rapier, developed in the XVIII century to be part of formal dress or carried for self-defence when gentlemen started deeming full-sized rapiers too cumbersome); THOSE, weighting less than a kilo, were indeed nimble as modern foil. BTW, rapiers sometimes had shark skin grips,and so had military swords, but little court dress swords like this one were usually hilted for looks, not for grip, often with polished ivory or wood.
This looks like a three sided sword, designed for stabbing, and causing a wound that wouldn't close on removal. A very deadly weapon if so. One of my favorites so far. Beautiful handle and guard.
@@ScrewsAndTools You know, the "triangular wound couldn't be closed" is just a modern urban legend. XIX field century surgery manuals even detailed the best way to sew those wounds... The *real* reason for the triangular section was just rigidity: a triangular blade has MUCH less lateral flex than any other shape, which means it's far easier to present the point with precision. A result of the emphasis on thrust over cut.
wonderful work. and I learned something new! I always thought that the blade of a rapier was flat, i.e. double-edged. I didn't know that it was actually a triangular blade.
Magnificent job. I've always loved those "Belle Epoque" swords. You got a piece of rusted metal and transformed it into a beautifully restored antiquity. Congratulations. Liked and suscribed. Greetings from Venezuela.
Excellent work brother! May I suggest that some of your tools really need restoration too! That poor hammer with the blue tape on the handle, and you have some interesting pliers that I haven’t seen before. I am enjoying watching your shop grow and your skills improving. You are a master craftsman brother!

Beautiful restoration job you did on that officer's rapier. It looks much better than before, and you did a good job of making a new scabbard for it. Excellent work on restoring a piece of history.

@@ScrewsAndTools ну а зачем тогда вообще браться за работу, если не обладаешь компетенцией, инструментарием и средствами на расходку...Вы просто убили ее вид, приколхозив какую-то дешевку.
@@atosadстранный😂. Что ему владелец заказал, то он и сделал. На что у заказчика хватило денег
Мне было бы стыдно за такую псевдорестовоацию, это позор.
Honestly It's really nice to se a good restoration. It's rough seeing some stuff get ruined by some people on youtube going crazy with grinding and wire wheels.
в русском языке "реставрация" и "восстановление" это разные понятия. и то что вы делаете это не реставрация. но в мастерство вам не откажешь .
Thanks for showing this. I really enjoyed it. At the end I understood your decision to assemle a black handle/grip. There's more visual harmony at the end. I immediately subscribed.
Thank you!!
вай вай какая шпашка.. салют Дружище
Приветствую, да красивая согласен
You sir are a very talented craftsman, I salute you.
ულამაზესი ნამუშევარიააა. ეგ რაპირა არ არის, მაგას smallswordს უწოდებენ არისტოკრატული იარაღი იყო
Correct. 100% correct.
@@TheTrueBobDole Saying it three times won't make it true. This is a thrust-only smallsword. The spadroon is a much larger cut-and-thrust weapon.
Fascinating 🧐 I started watching 👀 and was mesmerised till the end. Watching this sword 🗡️ come to life
Это шпага Зорро 😮
beautiful job especially the handle & scabbard
А ножны разве деревянные должны быть что то я не понял а по моему тоже металлические 😊😊😊
It's actually not a rapier, but a sword called a spadroon. I have many in my collection. They are related to each other. Spadroons were mainly for uniform purposes, but were also used as war blades. It's great that you found a triangular bladed one 😁. Most likely French. The blade was probably blued and gilted, and the hilt was probably wood with mother of pearl scales. The original scabbard would have been leather or steel. I'm very happy you got to work on this sword 😁. I love this video.
✨️🤺✨️👍
I am fairly sure that this is a small sword or court sword, épée de cour spadroons didn't have triangular blades
But the shape, design, geometry of the blade is extremely similar to a rapier. I even found it in books
@@ScrewsAndTools I was hasty with my comment. The blade is that of a small sword rapier. The hilt construction is identical to spadroon hilt types. That's what was confusing me. Maybe it's a combination of the two? 🤔 Anyway I loved this video, and was happy to see you work on a new type of sword. It looks beautiful! ✨️🗡✨️👍
@@TheTrueBobDole I think it's just an official sword or a high-ranking person. A ceremonial thing
@@ScrewsAndTools Yes. I just purchased a spadroon last night, with a near identical hilt construction. When I saw your video, I jumped to conclusions 😅. Plus, James Earl Jones passed away yesterday, so I was distracted 😢😭.
As 4:25 patience is astounding, in cleaning and sanding and detail. I cannot help but think, given the pattern and age of this sword, that the handle would have been covered in shagreen (sharkskin or manta ray skin, best material of the time to hold grip).
Rapier developed to be nimble penetrative weapons, to get into gaps in an opponent's armour , as opposed to whacking away with a broadsword or two handed sword. This one looks to have been ceremonial, or a badge of office. Either way, very nice work.
Thanks for the feedback. According to my research and study of this topic, the handle should be made of ivory. But the price of high-quality bones is more expensive than the item itself
@@ScrewsAndTools thank you. Did you find out anything else that's not in the video? Such an interesting piece.
@@patstrailertopics5975 According to my search, this version is rare, because I did not find an identical item not in books not on the Internet
Uh... no. Rapiers weren't developed to thrust into gaps of the arnor; that's what they used longswords (what you call longswords) for. Rapiers were _civilian carry_ weapons developed in teh XVI and XVII centuries, well after the middle ages, and never meant to defeat armor. They were actually not nimbler, at all, than a longsword, both weighting around one and a half kilograms. And this one is not even a rapier; it's a much later weapon, a XIX century French smallsword or "dress sword" (as its name indicates, a smaller version of the rapier, developed in the XVIII century to be part of formal dress or carried for self-defence when gentlemen started deeming full-sized rapiers too cumbersome); THOSE, weighting less than a kilo, were indeed nimble as modern foil.
BTW, rapiers sometimes had shark skin grips,and so had military swords, but little court dress swords like this one were usually hilted for looks, not for grip, often with polished ivory or wood.
Труд конечно колоссальный👍 Прекрасная рапира. Еще бы на рукояти насечку и витую проволоку - вообще был бы класс!😀
Ну да, рапира и шпага вещи же разные😂
You are an amazing talent. Thank you for sharing your skills with us.
This looks like a three sided sword, designed for stabbing, and causing a wound that wouldn't close on removal. A very deadly weapon if so. One of my favorites so far. Beautiful handle and guard.
Yes, the rapier is triangular like a bayonet
@@ScrewsAndTools You know, the "triangular wound couldn't be closed" is just a modern urban legend. XIX field century surgery manuals even detailed the best way to sew those wounds... The *real* reason for the triangular section was just rigidity: a triangular blade has MUCH less lateral flex than any other shape, which means it's far easier to present the point with precision. A result of the emphasis on thrust over cut.
@@notfeedynotlazy Yeah.. an unpleasant thing)
Great restoration, greetings from Serbia 🇷🇸☦️
Thank you!
wonderful work. and I learned something new! I always thought that the blade of a rapier was flat, i.e. double-edged. I didn't know that it was actually a triangular blade.
Magnificent job. I've always loved those "Belle Epoque" swords. You got a piece of rusted metal and transformed it into a beautifully restored antiquity. Congratulations. Liked and suscribed. Greetings from Venezuela.
Greetings! Thanks. I like all old stuff and tools too)
Excellent work brother! May I suggest that some of your tools really need restoration too! That poor hammer with the blue tape on the handle, and you have some interesting pliers that I haven’t seen before. I am enjoying watching your shop grow and your skills improving. You are a master craftsman brother!
Thanks for the feedback, yes I understand what you mean. But there is not enough time for everything))
@@ScrewsAndTools I understand that!

Thank you Kevin!!
👍Я бы конечно выбрал кочергу для поединка с мушкетёром...
Где-то это я уже видел))
Bello trabajo y bella arma. Muchas gracias estimado señor.
Beautiful restoration job you did on that officer's rapier. It looks much better than before, and you did a good job of making a new scabbard for it. Excellent work on restoring a piece of history.
Thank you!
Вот это реально круто!!!! Жаль клеймо на клинке не показал)) Удачи в творчестве🤝
Там есть пара моментов, но трудно разобрать. Ржавчина больше всего была около устья..
Great work very well done by hand
Skillful and sympathetic work,sir. Bravo.
Thanks!
Привет Алекс. Только за тебя вспоминал когда уже выйдет новое видео на любимом канале. Как поживаешь как здоровье?
Спасибо, все хорошо
Вернулась красота клинку.
Лайк.

Очень трудоёмкая и кропотливая работа я удивлён вашей любви и упорства к каждому раритета который вы реставрируете. Спасибо за видос, лайкаю.
Спасибо, да заняло две недели
@@ScrewsAndTools Но какой поразительный результат.

Ого! Пожалуй самая элегантная железка на канале! С такой хоть сейчас на дуэль за сердце дамы)) Кстати все знают чем отличается рапира от шпаги?)))
Да, сам впервые держал такую. Попила кровушки моей
That was very fine detailed work! Well done!
