If you are a swords collector, you probably have more Spanish swords than other swords from different countries. This is because there are many swords made in Spain, especially in Toledo in the old and modern times.

The success or victory in a battle does not rely solely on the skills of the warrior but also to his weapons like swords.

 

Here are some examples of Spanish swords that can be considered as collectibles.

 

• Bayonet Sword. Used around the late 1800s, the handle is made from a combination of wood and brass which is about 5 inches long. The blade is made of stainless steel. The top edge is not sharp but flat and it is usually around 20 inches in length.

• Spanish Rapier. In the early 17th century, swordplay using Rapiers is important in the education of young gentlemen. They use swordplay to settle disputes between two gentlemen. You have to thrust the Rapier to be effective against your opponent. But if the opponent is completely covered with an armor, then the Rapier will be useless. Soldiers did not use this as their main weapon, only as an additional sword.

• Colada Del Cid. This is a huge sword. The length is about 38 inches and the weight is around 4 pounds. It has two knuckle guards—forward and reverse. This is named after Diaz de Vivar (El Cid) who is one of the greatest soldiers in Spain.

• Rapiera Barroca Calada. This first came out in the mid 1600s in Spain. It also became popular in Italy. Soldiers at that time coupled the Rapier with smaller weapons such as daggers or bucklers. Rapiers are actually the fathers of the swords used in fencing.
