Description of the Product

Like most of the big cities of the Renaissance, Munich had a town watch. The watchmen enforced the law to some extent, but primarily they were just a well-armed troop of wealthy citizens guarding their own interests. Many of their tasks and duties benefited from having a sturdy edged weapon suitable for both cutting and thrusting. This sword they chose for this job was used together with a matching parrying dagger in the left hand (a fine weapon for many situations in itself). Although the story of the original sword can be traced to Munich, similar versatile sturdy cut&thrust-swords would have been a common sight on all fronts of the Thirty Years’ war.

Our Munich Town Watch has a wider and shorter blade compared to rapiers which enables cuts and makes a more versatile weapon. Like on rapiers the steel bars and rings on the hilt are different on the inside and outside of the blade. So the design of the hilt acknowledges the techniques of swordfight and is made with these in mind. The hardwood grip is wrapped with steel cord with braided wire at the ends. A riveted pommel shaped like a flattened ball completes the hilt. This Munich Town Watch Rapier comes with a black leather scabbard with steel mounts. Made by Windlass Steelcrafts.

The original sword from around 1600. It is a replica of a sword found in many museums today: for example the Munich Armory, the Bavarian Army Museum, and the Wallace Collection.

  Tilasin keskiaikaisen hupun. 100% puuvillaa, joten voi käsitellä kosteussuoja-aineella. Vaivatonta kaupankäyntiä.

  Sain kaksi muistikirjaa ja kalligrafiasetin setin 25-vuotis lahjaksi rakkaaltani. Ne ovat upeita! Olen saanut valtavasti kyselyitä muistikirjan alkuperästä ja kehunut Rautaporttia laadukkaasta käsityöstä. Tuotteista huokuu estetiikka, laatu ja taianomaisuus. Täydellinen lahja historia-/fantasianörtille!

The products have good quality,  good prices and are exactly what you see at the pictures, no fake photos.
I'm just received a package 📦 today, and it takes 7 days from Finland 🇫🇮 to come to Greece 🇬🇷. Very fast and easy!!

  Siis aivan huikea!!
Tilasin pari tuotetta aamupäivällä, ja 24h myöhemmin ne olivat jo noudettavissa postin automaatista!
Kaikki sujui kuin rasvattu, ei ole mitään moitittavaa.
Vaatteet olivat juuri sitä mitä tilasin, ja koot pitävät kyllä todella hyvin paikkansa! 😍
Aion ehdottomasti tilata vielä uudestaan, ja ehdottomasti suosittelen kaikille!
