I have two windless rapiers they're both discontinued models from years ago one is a brass swept tilted rapier which was in their catalog for years that I bought up a friend of mine when he moved the second I picked up at a clearance sale and it's a simpler sweptilt in brass which is also much lighter but the blade Flex is more I wouldn't quite call it whippy but it's definitely not a stiff. They're both pretty decent & they have their flaws but over the years but they've held up well.
Nice, yea I know the ones you're talking about. I almost picked up first one you mentioned on the Classifieds on SBG Forum but went with the Munich instead.
I don't know, but I think I would call this rapier a military rapier. it has a much broader blade than most rapiers on the market. The musketeer connection could also imply military use.
Great review with real history.... I hope to get that model with its "vizcaína" although I'd prefer it without that musketeer emblem. It should have any Spanish engrave instead that cross bit it is also pretty
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it and appreciate the historical section. Yea aside from the Musketeer emblem it is a Spanish Rapier. Not many Bilbao Hilts on the market either unfortunately.
Nice I really like the Christus Imperiat. If it was in stock at the time I bought the Musketeer I might have bought it instead. Let me know if you get a Musketeer and what you think of it compared to the Christus Imperiat!
