Pilsen Rapier
This German sword has a knot shaped basket, steel parts and textured leather over wood grip. The blade is high carbon steel and tempered. The scabbard has decorative throat and tip. Overall 44-3/4 inches. We found this rare rapier in an old catalog of antique weapons, which had described it as German, and felt we should reproduce it. The hilt shows design aspects of some larger swords, but the knot shaped basket is very unusual and we hadn’t seen its like before. More information...
