Swedish Rapier & Dagger
$0.00
This rapier and dagger set is based on a rapier in the Royal Armouries in Stockholm that belonged to Charles IX, king of Sweden (1604-1611). I have just a single photo of the original and so I sort of picked and chose the details I re-created.
My hilts are carved/chiseled steel with a parti-color decoration done with plated brass. The grips are wrapped in steel wire with steel ferrules, and the pommels are designed to key to the tang and be secured with a recessed allen nut.
The rapier is mounted with a modified Hanwei Practice Rapier blade. The blade is 37" long and has a reshaped ricasso. The dagger is mounted with a 12.25" blunted blade.
The rapier's stats:
37" Blade
44" OA
2.35 lbs
POB 1" in front of the guard.
