This "antiqued" Gustav Rapier features a hilt finish, developed by Hanwei, that allows a museum-quality patina to be applied to stainless steel while the non-corroding properties of the steel are retained. This finish is very attractive and gives an authentic appearance to the sword. The blade is interchangeable with our “Practical” blade (OH2255) which is designed for safety in rapier sparring. A sharp replacement blade (OH2327) is also available. The matching Main Gauche (SH2209N) is available to complete your collection.
