This Baroque sword can only be classified as transitional: it is a mix of classic Medieval and Late Renaissance that still could have been carried in the Early Baroque. During the transition between these two art historical periods, classic swords had not been completely replaced by rapiers and were still used in battle. In order to cut costs, existing classic swords were often remodeled to adapt them to more "modern" requirements.

This is especially visible when it comes to the blade of our Baroque sword, which is a powerful thrusting weapon as well as a cutting one. One of the three fullers on the ricasso continues along the blade to stop before the final quarter. This is characteristic of Renaissance swords, as is the wood and metal grip partially covered in leather. On the other hand, other elements such as the curved crossguard and the pommel are similar to the ones used for swords in the High Middle Ages. Our Baroque sword comes with a leather scabbard featuring a throat and chape.
