This beautiful 17th century replica measures 38.5 inches in length and has a fancy swept hilt design. Swept hilts feature both beauty and function, providing a blade-catch which was detrimental to swordplay, and could determine life or death in a duel. This rapier features a black handle wrapped in silver wire, providing excellent grip. The crown pommel is fluted and provides balance to this weapon. The dual-edged blade is straight, narrow, and unsharpened, with a mirror-like sheen. The blade measures 30 inches in length, and approximately 1 inch wide near the hilt.
Also included is a custom scabbard with shiny silver bindings. It is covered in a thin, black, snakeskin-like leather with two loop rings for donning. |
