Florentine Rapier
Product Description
Circa 1600
The Italians were reportedly the first to form the school of fighting with a rapier and dagger and it is still called the “Florentine” style. Be that as it may, it was used by all European countries and thought to be the most difficult and fluid form of dueling. This is certainly a handsome rapier. The shells of the guards have been taken to the literal sense. The quillions are long for added protection and the entire hilt has been given a beautiful aged look. The blades are from well tempered high carbon steel. This well-balanced rapier includes the scabbard. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®.
Overall: 45"
Blade: 35-1⁄2" long, 7⁄8" wide, 3⁄16" thick
Wt: 2 lbs/6 oz
