Hammer Information Sought Jan 06

My name is Mike and I live in Australia, and I have a power hammer that I am seeking any information on. The power hammer is branded Felix Dietz, the plate also reads as follows: Blattfeder Hammer Rekord, DRGM 707762, 707763, Oberlungwitz.i.Sa.

This unit is obviously very old and I would like to find out it's year of manufacture. It is riveted, the belt drive has an idler pulley that disengages the drive as the belt moves across the to this pulley, and the stroke and speed is adjustable by changing the eccentric swing. I will send photos if you request. Please see and click on any of the four photos below.

Hope you can help,

Custom Rapier Wanted Dec 03

I want to have a custom rapier constructed that i have designed. Any help would be great, and was hoping to have this made as something that I could actually use and practice with. I was going to buy a double wide epee to attach to the hilt so all I would need constructed is the hilt/basket/pommel. I have a basic design, but I am not sure on how the blade would mount to the hilt. I am hoping the smith be able to design that part based on how other rapiers are constructed.
