The swept hilt rapier was quite popular in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. This Bone Grip Swept Hilt Rapier is hand forged and has a blade of high carbon steel. The diamond cross section provides firmness and flexibility. The all steel guard and ornate pommel are accented with a real bleached, polished bone grip. Because bone is a natural product, the sword grip may have slight variations from the photos shown, giving each handle a unique finish. A full leather scabbard with steel locket and chape is included.

I have had this rapier for some months now, and personally find it a lovely blade in appearance and general use. It is blunt as ordered, but a perfectly good piece all the same.
However, there is an issue of it loosening with use at the pommel nut. My advice: unscrew the pommel and expose the tang and metal spacer around it, below the pommel and beside the hollow grip, then take some plastic straws wide enough (preferably one inside another to fill up space enough), and slide them inside the thin gap between the epacer and the tang, until they rest upon the widened out area of it. Then just cut away the rest of the straws above the spacer, and screw the pommel and nut back on. If done right, this should stop the rattling of the blade there, and help to prevent further loosening as easily. Hopefully this is helpful.
