Large, encrusted, iron cuphilt rapier handle. 1076 grams, roughly 7" x 5" x 4-1/2". This interesting item dramatically demonstrates how items can "grow" from oxidation, as it is still in its original shape but all puffed up from oxidation, very solid and stable, with sandy orange surfaces. Recovered from: Unidentified wrecks of the 1700s?.
