Description
The following swept hilt models are variations on what is known as a Pappenheimer which is an early type of swept hilt. These all have a knuckle guard, a pair of pierced shell guards protecting the ricasso, and swept arms connecting the shells to the knuckle and cross guard. Guards are available in two lengths and may be ordered straight, curved forward (C shaped), or serpentine (S shaped (with the upper arm curved forward and the lower arm curved back to follow the knuckle guard)).
