Windlass Musketeer Rapier

Circa 1590 The musket, though the prime weapon of the French Musketeers, was a cumbersome firearm, both to load and fire. A good rapier was a necessary second weapon. Our Musketeer rapier is fashioned after those circa 1590. The basket hilt is ambidextrous and a very effective mix of both the cup-hilt and swept-hilt styles. The grip is wood wrapped with twisted wire and the parts of the hilt are plated with gleaming nickel silver. Maching Musketeer Main Gauche Ref.401348 available. Overall: 46" Blade: 37-1⁄2" Length, long, 1" Width, 3/16” Thickness Weight: 2 lb 11 oz Material: 1065 High Carbon Steel Made by Windlass Steelcrafts®
