Solingen Rapier, Antiqued

This "antiqued" version of the Solingen Swept-Hilt Rapier (SH2205) 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 piece. The blade is interchangeable with our “Practical” blade (OH2255) which is designed for safety in rapier sparring. The matching Main Gauche (SH2208N) may also be equipped with a sparring blade
