Swept Hilt Rapier Black Finish

The Swept Hilt Rapier Black Finish from Kingston Arms is a Renaissance-style collectible display sword based on early 17th-century European forms. Its 37-inch 1566 high carbon steel blade has the long, narrow profile associated with period rapier design. The swept hilt contributes to its historical character, making the piece suitable for collections, display and historical study. Kingston Arms has refined the guard construction where it meets the blade to improve strength and rigidity. The black titanium-coated stainless steel guard and pommel have a matte finish, while the brown cord-wrapped grip measures 3 1/2 inches. This product is supplied unassembled, with one blade, one guard, the pommel and the handle packed separately. A metric wrench is included for tightening the pommel and grip during assembly.
