This sword is in a hybrid form sometimes called a transitional rapier. Transitional rapiers were generally lighter and leaner than renaissance rapiers, but had not yet transformed into smallswords.

The hilt sports fairly short quillions and a double shell guard etched with lines and decorated with brass rivets. The spiral carved grip is wrapped in copper wire with brass accents. It is mounted with a slender 37" Hanwei Practice Rapier blade. It is also available with the sharp version of this blade.

The pommel is threaded 6x1mm.

The rapier weighs 2.0 lbs and is 43" long overall. It balances 3.5" in front of the quillion block.

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