Hanwei Taza Rapier (Antiqued) - $400
Long extolled as the pinnacle of rapier design, the “Spanish” or “Cup-Hilt” rapier undoubtedly combined style and function very effectively in 17th century Europe. The very best of these weapons featured beautifully pierced cups and pommels and Paul Chen of Hanwei has replicated these to perfection and combined them with an elegantly tapered high-carbon steel blade in our “Taza” rapier (the name comes from the French, who called this style “a la Taza”). A leather-covered scabbard is included.
[This is the older antiqued version, which has been discontinued.]
Overall: 46 1/4“
Blade Length: 38 1/4“
Weight: 2lb 1oz
Point of Balance: 5"
Point of Harmonics: 20"
Width at Guard: .75"
Width at Tip: .40"

[This is the older antiqued version, which has been discontinued.]
Overall: 16 5/8"

Dark Sword Armory Carpathian – 300
The DSA Carpathian is the discontinued predecessor to their current, and very popular, Guardian sword. This is a big, beefy hero’s sword, right from the pages of Robert Howard or Fritz Leber. Despite it’s size, its quite fast due to the heavy carbon steel fittings and cord/leather wrapped handle for balance. And it can dismantle metal shelving units without being damaged. Comes with a wood and leather scabbard with steel tip.

Blade length: 32”
Weight: 55 ½ oz
Steel: 5160 high carbon spring steel

ATrim Type XV Arming Sword - $1000
This Angus Trim Arming Sword was purchased second hand many years ago, long before Kingston Arms or other such affiliated companies were around. It may be a Type XV or a Type XVIII, I’m not an expert. It remains in mint condition, never used. The fit and finish are flawless, the balance superb, as would be expected. Comes with a plain wood and black leather scabbard with steel tip.
