I'd offer to try making one myself, because I can probably get good digital photographic references from several angles- I can hopefully borrow an 1800s rapier with an intricately worked basket hilt from a friend of mine who's got a nice little period sword collection. I'm working on another project at the moment though, so won't be modelling anything else for a bit. Let me know if photo references might be useful, I can do those anyway. If you're still hunting in a couple of weeks I might have some time then to try one myself.
