More model informationAn encrusted steel rapier hilt and partial blade as found on the St. Johns shipwreck (believed to be the Spanish galleon Santa Clara of 1564). While underwater, iron nails and other small objects became entangled with the rapier, and as the conglomerate corroded, a heavy covering of calcium carbonate, rust, sand, and shells formed around it. The various artifacts inside were eventually restored to near their original condition. To see a photogrammetric model of the refurbished rapier, click here: https://skfb.ly/GWQq
