SOLD Rapier/Small Sword

[UndeadPoet]

Continuing to thin out my lifelong accumulation of edged weapons, and hopefully find them a good home with one of the wonderful members of our forum.

This is a French or Italian-made (I’m sorry but I forget which - I got it 30+ years ago) small sword-esque rapier. It has a 34.5” spring-tempered triangular blade, tapering from approximately 3/4” to 1/4” wide, a brass wire-wrapped black grip, an antiqued brass knight’s head pommel, and a pierced floral design, antiqued brass hilt. Overall length is approximately 41”.

$125.00 shipped to your door. Thanks for looking!

If someone you know is a wannabe “Arya Stark,” then this would make a perfect “Needle.” Winter is coming...

I don’t have a scabbard for it (neither did Arya ) but I will throw in a handmade sword “frog” for it.

Any interest? It's pointy, and if you are not careful, it could put someone's eye out.

Is it sharp? Is it pointy? what kind of steel is it made of?

 

[UndeadPoet]

brewer12345,

It is more of a thrusting blade, so it is pointy, but not necessarily edge-sharp. I think you could put a bit of an edge on, though. It is spring-tempered, high-carbon steel. It is firm and not flimsy, although you can bend it quite far, and have it go back to true.

Not to my knowledge. I have had it since around 1990. I can't remember from where I got it.

 

[UndeadPoet]

Offers? Don't be shy.

I have a similar one, but specifically left handed (made for me). To duel with my wife, who is right handed,this may be handy. Covid may bring us close to blows. I would offer ..$75, delivered, so that she may defend her honor.
