Black-Finished Renaissance Rapier Replica

Description

Originating in Renaissance Spain and quickly spreading to the rest of Europe, the rapier did occasionally see military use, but historically was used by civilians for self-defence, duelling, and, of course, fashion. Rapiers were a status symbol, demonstrating nobility or gentlemanly status and as such they often had very complex, intricate and highly decorative designs.

This rapier features a classic swept hilt design with a black finish and steel coiled grip, with a long blade that tapers to a needle-like point with black sheath. A fantastic display addition for any collector’s armoury.
