17th Century Italian Rapier
17th Century Italian Rapier
A beautifully executed 17th Century rapier with a very complex hilt and faceted pommel. The grip is hand wound with silver plated wire with woven wire rings top and bottom. The hand forged, high carbon steel, fully tempered blade features a wide fuller to lighten and strengthen it for thrusting and the heavy ricasso provides extra strength to the main stress area. This type of sword was deadly effective as a dueling weapon.
Top quality, genuine leather scabbard with deeply engraved floral pattern on the throat and tip.
