King Gustav II Adolf (1594-1632) was monarch of Sweden from 1611-1632. In 1630 as a defensive maneuver, King Gustav II entered the Thirty Years’ War to secure the Swedish state and church from danger. An excellent military tactician, Gustav led an army of unusual quality, and his position was strengthened by alliances with France, Brandenburg, and Saxony. At Lützen in 1632, the Swedes defeated Albrecht W.E. von Wallenstein's army, but King Gustav was fatally wounded in battle. The Paul Chen / Hanwei Gustav Rapier is a reproduction of his original and is truly fit for a king. The guard of the rapier is quit impressive in design and has two shells to protect the hand. Features steel hilt components with a wrie wrapped grip, and an unsharpened carbon steel blade.
