Description: | This is a rapier, made at Shotley Bridge in County Durham. The sword-making industry flourished at Shotley Bridge throughout the 1700s. It was first established there by German swordsmiths from Solingen. A rapier is a thin and flexible sword. It is not a military weapon, but it is designed to be used for fighting - and duelling! | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | made in the North East industry | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
