17th Century Pappenheimer Rapier - Pierced Shell Guard

The Pappenheimer Rapier has a blade forged from high carbon steel, 17th century. The complex hilt with pierced shell guard is from mild steel with a wooden grip overlaid in twisted steel wire. A felt tab atop the guard protects it from scratching when in contact with the scabbard. The wood-core scabbard is finished with a tight leather wrap and protective steel fittings.
