This light and fast sword is not quite a historical form, but in the stage combat world we call it a dish hilt. Not a swept hilt, but not a cup hilt….dish hilt! This is mounted with a musketeer epee blade for true old-Hollywood swashbuckling.

The guard sports fairly long recurved quillions that rotate away from the centerline of the guard and a shell etched with a simple motif. The wood grip is wrapped in brass and steel wire with brass ferrules.

The round pommel is threaded 6x1mm.

The rapier weighs 1.9 lbs and is 42" long overall. The blade is 34.5” long (in front of the dish), or 36” measured from the quillions. It balances right front of the dish hilt at the base of the blade.

If you like this hilt and are interested in having it mounted with a different blade, please contact me directly.
