That would be a Transitional Baroque Rapier.

Smallswords do not appear until the mid 1700's.  Plus don't think about starting the infamous Rapier/Broadsword effectiveness debate started by Mr. Silver.   ;)

Ah, thank you, Sir Joshua, but I was not using it as a name, but as a description because it is, in fact, a 'small' sword, as opposed to Roy's much larger broadsword.

I understand Sir William.  Different swords will always have different lengths, widths and shapes thus creating their unique purposes.

Lord Dane:
Love Liam Neeson flicks. "Rob Roy" has a classic scene where his wife gets it in the most medieval fashion.... "Just think of yourself as the scabbard & me as the sword."  So much for that redhead's honor.
