16th Century Basket‑Hilt Rapier Decorative Replica Handcrafted Display Sword

This handcrafted replica is inspired by 16th‑century basket‑hilt rapiers, often referred to as Walloon swords or Haudegen. Designed as a decorative display piece, it reflects the ornate hilt construction and elegant blade geometry associated with Renaissance‑era European swords. These swords were widely used across Germany, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Scandinavia during the Thirty Years’ War and Baroque period. Their pierced, cage‑style hilts also connect them to the Pappenheimer tradition, favored by both military officers and civilian gentry. The brass basket hilt is fully handcrafted, featuring intricate curves and protective bars. The high‑carbon steel blade is forged and shaped in classic rapier style, while the wooden grip is wrapped in wire for a refined finish. The included leather scabbard is fitted with brass accents to match the hilt, completing the presentation. This replica is intended for display and collection purposes. Features Decorative replic
