Gustav Main Gauche Antiqued

Gustav Main Gauche Antiqued came about when King Gustav II Adolf (1594-1632) was monarch of Sweden from 1611-1632. In 1630 as a defensive maneuver, King Gustav II entered the Thirty Years’ War to secure the Swedish state and church from danger. An excellent military tactician, Gustav led an army of unusual quality, and his position was strengthened by alliances with France, Brandenburg, and Saxony. At Lützen in 1632, the Swedes defeated Albrecht W.E. von Wallenstein's army, but King Gustav was fatally wounded in battle.

The Gustav  main gauche is a  reproduction of his originals and are truly fit for a king. The guard of the rapier is quit impressive in design and has two shells to protect the hand. It comes equipped with a forged, high-carbon spring steel blade and leather scabbard.
