Product description
The rapier first came into use around 1500 and until the end of the seventeenth century this was the main weapon of European citizens and nobility. Noble soldiers used the rapier mainly for warfare (it was perfect for stabbing between plate armor and leather armor), but also for ceremonial purposes such as parades. A rapier was also used for fencing and duels between two gentlemen, so that the rapier became a permanent attribute of a gentleman. This replica is based on various German rapiers from the seventeenth century.
The blade is made of EN45 spring steel with a screwed pommel. It has swept hilt with an S-shaped guard and a grip that is decorated with steel wire and brass wire. The rapier is delivered including a black leather scabbard with a wooden core and steel chapes.
