Product description
During the Renaissance, the sword became increasingly a secondary weapon alongside the gun or the pistol. The blades grew slimmer, a hilt became more usual than a cross-guard, and the point was sharper for effective stabbing.
The ricasso, an unpolished part of the blade, became more popular and was frequently employed. Amongst the most well-known Renaissance swords was the rapier, which was used primarily as a duelling and fashion sword. This slim sword originated as early as 1470 and developed into a fast stabbing weapon without cutting edges.
This 17th-century rapier was used in many Christian countries. Its length is 112 cm and it has a blade with a length of 95 cm and a width of 3 cm. It weighs just 1,259 g.
