Well my good robin that would be the Elizabethan period. I have already stated that i can document that pikemen carried rapiers. So rapier and pike would be on the same field. <br>

If you want pikes, go to the field where pikes are legal. If you want rapiers, go to the field where rapiers are legal. <br>
<br>
But if you want pikes and rapiers together, exactly what period fighting are you trying to simulate? <br>
