German style simple steel rapier crossguard / basket hilt to fit our tang type 2 blades. Ideally suited to sword blanks type 4 and type 6.
To keep the price low for the home sword maker we have kept it raw and could be polished/painted to your required standard but is usable as is. We have tested it and feel it is 100% combat ready under heavy use.
