Pappenheimer III - ring-n-ring piercework

This Pappenheimer is our most popular pattern. The teardrop shape of the plate and elegant style of the piercework, coupled with some minor detailing, produces a very striking rapier. The Pappenheimers tend to be a bit heavier than the swept hilts, but are typically more robust. Historically, many Pappenheimers were mounted with "sword" blades rather than rapier blades and may account for their heavier construction.

This Pappenheimer comes mounted with a 42" practice rapier by default and weighs about 2.2 lbs. The black shown in the picture is an option available for an extra $25
