Musketeer Rapier

This rapier is bigger than I imagined! It is a plus for your collection if you want to have different historical weapons, like me. I'm thinking of buying the main-gauche that goes with it.

On a more negative note, unfortunately the grip is small and not really comfortable. Also, the fittings are made of mild steel and are very fragile. I expose my rapier vertically and unfortunately it fell and immediately the quillons hooked. It's not very strong and I don't recommend sparing with this rapier.

This is a gorgeous swords and exceeded my expectations. The blade is well made, with just the right amount of stiffness. I selected the option to have it sharpened and the honing job is first class, perfect sword edge and fantastic point. It is not an everyday carry rapier for a gentleman of the period but built like something that a musketeer would carry to battle during the 30 years - to say it’s a heavy sword. Great service all around from Museum Replicas.

I was looking for a rapier that was capable of doing some cutting as well, and this one definitely can! I didn't even have to resharpen the factory edge. Very well balanced and reasonably stiff blade. My only cons are that there is a sharp-edged "block" at the center of the cross guard that needed a little rounding, and under impact the threaded construction began to spin loose. Easily remedied with a bit of lock tight, but the very comfortable tube fixture around the ricasso began to rattle around quite a bit and needed some snugging. Overall, though, I am very pleased and absolutely recommend this rapier, as well as its matching Main Gauche.

Make no mistake this is a beautiful well made rapier. I ordered it along with the main gauche which is also well done. The rapier was back ordered and i waited forever for it to show . I had it sharpened, I have had around a dozen blades sharpened by MRL and have always been happy with the result. But this time i was let down, the bevel on the blade never really went to sharpness but the worst thing was the point got rounded off. The point is everything on a rapier. I can press on it with my finger an just make a harmless dent. I could never do that with my other rapier.

A great feel and sharp blade. Fine quality and serves you well either to display or to act the Musketeer. Highly recommended!

A wonderful rapier, beefier and rock solid like a military rapier should be! As the matching main gauche, it is nicely decorated with a fine scabbard of blue. A fine addition for any collection!

Simply a beautiful rapier. Light, easy to weild and very elegant. A real museum piece. Highly recommend.

Has a very nice weight to it, and just looks gorgeous.
It came very well packaged, and arrived rather quickly once it had shipped out.
I am very much considering getting the matching Gauche to go with it.

This rapier felt like an extension to my arm.  Fast, furious and deadly.  This rapier is one beautiful sword!!

I just received this in the mail today.  As expected, it was well wrapped and packaged to protect the contents.  Upon opening it, I immediately smiled in admiration at the beauty of this rapier.  This is the second rapier I've purchased from MR.  I have also purchased a sword and dagger.  In all cases, the workmanship, etc. have been outstanding and exceeded my expectations.  This one, as my others was ordered sharpened.  Let's face it, if I'm going to own a sword/rapier it just as well be real.
I'm truly impressed by everything thus far purchased from MR and this new addition will certainly be proudly displayed.  If you've been considering this particular piece, you will not be disappointed.  It's absolutely beautiful, well balanced, and a formidable weapon to be sure.
Glad I purchased it.

The rapier is well made although, the handle's wire rapping is an 1/8" short of the handle. The balance of the sword is good. The basket hilt provides good coverage of the hand. I ordered the sharpened rapier, the edge is good and even throughout the blade. The scabbard is well made. The scabbard is made of a rubber like material, which allows it to bend when the rapier is out of the scabbard.

Outstanding quality!! I plan on getting the main gauche to match.
