[Ansteorra-rapier] Question about Triplette's R9 rapier

 Definately not legal in Ansteorra.  I have failed one of these in the past year.  The owner was told by Triplette that it was legal.  It would be fine with a heavy rapier blade.

just called me and told me that it is not considered to be legal in ALL
Kingdoms with an epee due to the tip being able to get caught in the hilt.

Has anyone seen this guard, and is it legal or no? I don't want to bother
ordering it if it is not.

You can see the hilt at

Thanks for the info.
