Two-Port Cross Rapier w/CASTILLE blade
Two-Port Cross Rapier w/CASTILLE blade
This 2-ring rapier has unusually long quillions (11”) like some of the weapons described in Thibault’s treatise. There are two rings on the outside of the guard, and crossing swept bars on the counterguard. An extra bar joins the two arms of the guard at the top of the ricasso to prevent strikes to the long quillions from pulling things apart.
It’s mounted with a 40” rapier blade from Castille Armory. F3 flex, normal tip.
The hilt is mild steel. The grip is solid PETG covered in black leather with steel wire. Pommel is threaded 6mm.
Weight is 2.3 lbs
POB is +3.75 from the quillions.
Blade length is 40”
Overall length of the sword is 46.5"
If you like more or less blade presence, I have several options for other pommels to draw the POB forward or back.
