Hanwei - Gustav Rapier

Click to enlarge image(s)

The Gustav Rapier replicates a weapon used by King Gustav Adolf II, who ruled Sweden in the early part of the 17th century.
The shell guard of the rapier is unusual but effective.
The rapier features classical lines, with a high-carbon steel flex-tempered blade, a stainless steel hilt (for reduced maintenance) with "blade catcher" quillons and a twisted-wire grip.
The hilt is of the same size as the original, providing an authentic ?feel? in the user?s hand.
The weight and balance also match the originals.
The blade is interchangeable with Hanwei's ?Practical? blade (OH2255 - Available by Special Order) which is designed for safety in rapier sparring.
