The above is a photo of our basic rapier hilt. This design is a smaller, lighter, and cheaper alternative to our reitschwert hilt. Espada roperas developed in Spain during last half of the 15th century and were the original rapiers. Our hilt consists of a 7 1/2 inch long straight cross guard, with two arms joined by a small plate. This hilt is currently available only on our Alchem flat tang rapier blade. With a short blade of 34 inches or less, this is a very light rapier and is appropriate for small sword fencing. The example above is in the wire brushed gray finish with the mercenary perforation and a black grip. Normally gray finished hilts come with an unstained grip. We'll mount a pommel of the appropriate weight for the blade length specified.

Prices are as follows: Hilt with 32" to 40" flat tang blade (any finish) $145 US ($139 foreign) 2.50pounds = 1.13kgs To US To Canada Other Countries

When ordering, be sure to specify (PayPal provides for comments to seller) finish ('B'lack or 'G'ray), perforation ('M'ercenary or 'P'appenheimer), blade length, Please note: If not specified, the default is gray, Pappenheimer, 36 inches.
