This rapier is based on an antique piece sold at auction, dubbed the “Skeleton Rapier”. The symmetrical 3-ring structure is decorated with twisted bead details, as are the quillion tips and the end of the knucklebow. The steel guard and pommel are electroplated in gold with a satin finish.

It’s mounted with a 39.5” sharp blade re-ground from a Bellatore fencing blunt. The Bellatore is quite a thick blade, and makes for a nice stiff sharp after a good bit of grinding work.

The guard is laser sintered stainless steel. The grip is PETG wrapped brown leather lace and brass wire. The pommel sis threaded 6mm .

The scabbard is black leather with brass fittings.

The weapon weighs 2.75 lbs and is 45.5” long overall. POB is +3” from the quillion block.
