Throughout history, people have loved to shoot people that they didn't like. But then, people have also been fun of stabbing them too. Shoot or stab? What's a warrior to do? Well, fret no more, here's your answer; the 18th Century English Pistol Dagger, when you want the best of both worlds.

This style of weapon was very real and very deadly in history. The premise being that, because a flintlock pistol was very slow to load, a combatant could fire off a round as his or her enemy approached, then still have an effective weapon when the enemy closed. A clumsy sentence, I know, but a very efficient weapon.

This weapon is a reproduction of an actual English flintlock pistol dagger that was made in London in the early 18th century (1700s for those of you chronologically impaired). The blade is made from a weathered zinc-alloy. The hardware is brass and features an etched, simulated ivory handle.

A 3 1/2 inch brass barrel hides behind the 11 inch blade and a regal horse head holds the hanging ring in it's mouth. The locks and trigger are fully functional (that is, you can cock it and activate the firing mechanism by squeezing the trigger), although the gun cannot actually be fired.

Truly a perfect weapon for pirate or highwayman alike. Equally great as a displya piece in any room.

Although the term rapier has become synonymous with any narrow-bladed sword (particularly those with fancy hilts), the term rapier actually applied to only a select few types of swords. Rapiers were narrow (usually one and a quarter inches wide), quite long, fairly heavy, and usually had only a slight edge on them. The extremely long length of the rapiers made them a bit heavy and cumbersome, not at all the Errol Flynn or Zorro-type small-swords that most people think of.
