#190 Elizabethan Rapier
This handsome rapier is in a style that was exceptionally popular in England during the period 1580 to 1610. This form of hilt probably originated on the continent, but was introduced to England by craftsmen who immigrated in this period. Distinctive features of this type are the large globular pommel and medallions on the bars of the hilt. The pommels and guards are often covered in floral and figural details in silver over a russet or blackened finish.
Arms & Armor has produced this rapier with vines, sunbursts and faces in burnished steel over a blued background. It is fitted with an authentic twisted wire wrapped grip using fine blackened and steel wire. The single bar inner guard has a graceful sweep to the guard and a loop at the front. This rapier is based on an original German rapier (A597) from the turn of the 17th century now in the Wallace Collection, London.
