Product description
In the Renaissance, the sword became more and more a second weapon, alongside the gun. The blades became narrower with a sharper tip and the basket hilt became widespread. The ricasso also became more and more popular and was often used. One of the best known Renaissance swords was the rapier, which was mainly used as a duel and fashion weapon. This slender sword came into use around 1470.
This rapier is made after a late 17th century original made in Spain. Rapiers like this were mainly made in Spain and Italy. The typical hilt consists of a deep bell-shaped basket, long quillions and a knuckle guard. It is made of carbon steel and has engraved decorations on the bell-shaped basket.

Prevent rust and corrosion by oiling your weapons regularly. Remove rust easily with black sandpaper. Remove burrs with a whetstone. Make sure you have removed all burrs before using a battle-ready weapon, as they can cause wounds.
Tip: How to adjust the finish of your armour and weaponry
Luxurious (polished)- polish the steel with metal polish or toothpaste. You can even give the item a mirror-like polish. Test on a small surface first!
Handmade (matte)- soak the steel in cola for 40 minutes to 20 hours. Check regularly and treat with black sandpaper.
Antique (patinated) leave the steel to rust for some time in a damp environment, preferably outside. Remove the red layer of rust, to reveal the corroded top layer.
