This elegant, functional Grantham rapier's sword has an impressive blackened hilt and a shell-shaped guard with an intricate floral design, perhaps alluding to the Civil War of the Roses, which intermittently pitted members and supporters of the House of Lancaster against those of the House of York between 1455 and 1487. Both families claimed the throne of England, through common origin in the House of Plantagenet, as descendants of King Edward III. The name of the Two Roses refers to the emblems of both houses, the white rose of York and the red rose of Lancaster. It is said that this proxy war was the inspiration for Game of Thrones.
The handle is made of wood, surrounded with wire thread and the knob is large enough to balance a blade designed for cutting and thrusting. An attractive and effective rapier sword at the same time. High carbon steel blade. Comes equipped with sheath.
