We produce an early form of cruciform rapier hilt known as a "Reitschwert". According to "The Archaeology Of Weapons" by Ewart Oakshott, plate 20 lower left, this design dates from the end of the 15th century. Our Reitschwert hilts may be purchased unbladed, or mounted on a blade with either a flat or rod tang. This hilt may be ordered with either a 10 inch or an 11 3/4 inch long cross guard, two open (unfilled) side rings of equal size, and a pair of annallet (finger rings) protected by filled and pierced flat shells. The shells may be ordered in either the pappenheimer or mercenary (hearts and spades) piercework. 11 3/4 inch long Guards may be ordered straight, curved forward (C shaped), or serpentine (S shaped). A knuckle guard may be added as an option for an additional $15. If a rapier is being ordered primarily for sidesword fencing, let us know via e-mail or through PayPal's "note to seller" and we'll mount a lighter pommel. Our Alchem blades can be used for either thrust only or cut and thrust sidesword fencing. When ordering a rod tang blade for cut and thrust sidesword fencing, we recommend a length of 36 inches or less.

Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries had its humble beginnings as an idea of a few artisans and craftsmen who enjoy performing with live steel fighting. As well as a patchwork quilt tent canvas. Most had prior military experience hence the name.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries.
Vendertainers that brought many things to a show and are know for helping out where ever they can.
As well as being a place where the older hand made items could be found made by them and enjoyed by all.
We expanded over the years to become well known at what we do. Now we represent over 100 artisans and craftsman that are well known in their venues and some just starting out. Some of their works have been premiered in TV, stage and movies on a regular basis.
Specializing in Medieval, Goth , Stage Film, BDFSM and Practitioner.
Patchwork Merchant Mercenaries a Dept of, Ask For IT was started by artists and former military veterans, and sword fighters, representing over 100 artisans, one who made his living traveling from fair to festival vending medieval wares. The majority of his customers are re-enactors, SCAdians and the like, looking to build their kit with period clothing, feast gear, adornments, etc.
Likewise, it is typical for these history-lovers to peruse the tent (aka mobile store front) and, upon finding something that pleases the eye, ask "Is this period?"
A deceitful query!! This is not a yes or no question. One must have a damn good understanding of European history (at least) from the fall of Rome to the mid-1600's to properly answer. Taking into account, also, the culture in which the querent is dressed is vitally important. You see, though it may be well within medieval period, it would be strange to see a Viking wearing a Caftan...or is it?
After a festival's time of answering weighty questions such as these, I'd sleep like a log! Only a mad man could possibly remember the place and time for each piece of kitchen ware, weaponry, cloth, and chain within a span of 1,000 years!! Surely there must be an easier way, a place where he could post all this knowledge...
Traveling Within The World is meant to be such a place. A place for all of these artists to keep in touch and directly interact with their fellow geeks and re-enactment hobbyists, their clientele.
