Someone in the 1700s was like "Mm... I think I'll make an old-style rapier based on 1400s German Rapiers." and then did that thing.
And that piece is now in a museum 300 years later.
This is not rocket surgery.
For the person in the 1700s to make a rapier in the style of the 1400s there had to be a rapier in the 1400s with a style to mimic.
And -specifically- a German one.
