 |
|
Here's a new rapier I just finished. Its currently mounted with wallhanger blade I picked up at the albion moat sale, but as soon as some new blades arrive in the mail it will get a combat worthy one. I spent a while staring at it before I decided to blue it, but I think the grip/guard contrast looks pretty good. Its available with a blade of the buyer's choice. PM me if you're interested.
Eventually it will make it onto the For Sale page of my site: www.jessebelsky.com/stageswords
thanks for looking.

Here are a few process shots, plus a few pre-blueing.

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like it. The grip wrap is gold and silver colored twisted wire....it looks a little funny in photos because of the resolution. Here's a close up.

Very attractive and elegant rapier.  
You can easily give up your freedom. You have to fight hard to get it back!

Thanks to everyone for the very friendly responses. This rapier hilt (mounted or unmounted) is available for sale on my website at www.jessebelsky.com/stageswords
I'm asking $500 for the hilt plus the price of a blade of the buyer's choice. No extra charge for mounting it.
thanks for looking!
