Selvaria's Sword: Would you say her Sword is a Rapier or a Broadsword?
I've always just assumed it was a Rapier, based on the hilt and guard. But, in the Anime, when Selvaria goes to rescue Maximilian from the assassins, she engages a large group of them and 'Slashes' all of them. Rapiers are mainly known for being thrusting weapons and I didn't see her do any thrusting in the anime. She also preformed a forward slash when she cut Alicia's bullet in half when she fired at Maximilian.
Also, I was recently doing some shopping and saw some swords in a store that specialized in selling them. The owner said they were broadswords. Their hilt and handguard looked very much like Selvaria's as well. The blade was heavier, and meant more for slashing than thrusting.
What do ya think?
