Italian Rapier Leonello with swept hilt, 16th cen.
Very nice replica of an Italian rapier hilt with curved from the 16th cen. By changing the fighting technique, the blades were longer and narrower with the output of the mid-Laters. Thus, the conventional sword was replaced by the more elegant rapier. In the Renaissance period the wearing of rapiers was also a symbol of social status for noble men. Higher nobles, such as counts and barons wore longer blade, lower nobles had to make do with shorter arms.

Reakce na 1 (Aleš Punčochář) Dobrý den Aleši, děkujeme za komentář. Pochva není součástí dodávky, je však možné nechat si ji k rapíru vyrobit, nebo si objednat opasek s pochvou na rapír. Pokud by byla součástí dodávky, našel byste ji v popisku produktu i na fotografiích. Krásný zbytek dne za tým O4E, Michaela.
Je u tohoto meče přítomna pochva ? Předem děkuji za odpověď.
