Beskrivning
Swept hilt rapiers trace their origins to early 17th century Europe, where swordplay with the rapier was considered an essential part of a gentleman’s education and was often used in resolving gentlemanly disagreements. Blades typically originated from Toledo or Solingen and would be hilted by regional smiths, resulting in many hilt styles.
This reproduction has a high-carbon steel blade and a very attractive solid steel (not plated) basket with a genuine bone grip.
