I have these two old looking rapiers that say made in Spain/made in Toledo on them. Would anyone here be able to identify them/tell me if they have any monetary value? They have quartz handles and lots of gold leafing, though the majority of the leafing is falling off. Thank you for any help you can offer. -JoJo Link to photos: imgur.com/a/TaZCCSo

Not rapier's, they look like fencing foil's...No real value AFAIK.

Look like tourist garbage you can get in Spain but I may be wrong

I hope that you don't have much invested in these. Shipping to a buyer will probably cost more than the swords, for the lack of a better name, are worth.

I'd say old vintage Marto faux fencing foils. My advise: ,,Let them be''. Not worth the hassle.

They'll look nice on the wall and I think you did very well at $5! Enjoy them...just don't try any home defense with them! LOL.
