Paper basket with bone handle



Rapiers with distinctive curved-handled baskets, also called basket springs , have their origins in the 17th century. At that time, rapier fencing was an essential part of men's training and was often used to settle disputes between nobles. Toledo or Solingen blades were often provided with handles by regional blacksmiths. This gave rise to a variety of designs.
