#084 Venetian Rapier
A fine early example of the rapier with an elegant clean hilt. The blade, wider than later types, is used in a cut and thrust style much like earlier sword fighting techniques. This style of sword was carried by the Spanish Conquistadors and the famous sword and bucklermen of the Low Country wars. This would also be the sword type referred to by George Silver in his Paradoxes of Defense and when combined with a dagger would be just the thing for a stalwart Englishman standing his ground.
