Anatomy of the Rapier

I've gotten these two lovely images from this website. Make sure, when you're studying for your quiz, you look at the rapier, not the other kinds of swords. Also know that the "langets" and "point of percussion" are not a part of your terminology, but the "pas d'ane" or the "no-donkey," is. Can you see where it is in these diagrams?

  1. Are we just going to be labeling a diagram for our quiz? Also, I can find the pas' d'ane when I am holding the rapier. Perhaps I can find another diagram of a rapier that will have that labeled!

    1. Yep, it'll be a labeling quiz. But I'll also have you orally show me on an actual rapier.
