Line 72:
* The sword depicted, along with a few other examples on this page actually take after the Seven Pronged Sword, which exists in real life, along with several replicas.
* The Italian spatulated blade rapier. It had a leaf-shaped point rather then a straight one. This was because Italian fencing schools of the time they were fashionable often advocated tip cuts and a spatulated blade is more efficient for that.
* The Mensur blade is cut off so that it will only do tip cuts. Being scratched up once was a [[Rite of Passage]] in German schools and still is in some.
