Cup-Hilt Letter Opener MH2281

Cup-Hilt Letter Opener

Our Price:

£10.58

( EX VAT : £9.00 + VAT )

Rapiers, carried by the gentry of Europe in the 17th century, were used both for personal defense and for settling gentlemanly disagreements. Long extolled as the pinnacle of rapier design, the “Spanish” or “Cup-Hilt” rapier undoubtedly combined style and function very effectively.Crafted in steel with a distinctive antiqued patina, wach piece is a small version of one of our full-sized swords. Each piece is provided with its own stand and is packaged with a card detiling its origins. This letter opener is part of a series of six historical designs that are replicated from swords in museum collections. A Rosewood stand (MH2289) to display the full series is available.
