Bone-Handled Rapier
|
|
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 in Toledo or Solingen and would be hilted by regional smiths, resulting in many hilt styles. The CI-SH1092 has a high-carbon steel blade and a very attractive solid steel (not plated) basket with a genuine bone grip. A rigid leather-covered scabbard is included.
Overall length 45-1/4" ¤ Weight 2lbs., 2oz.
