Abstract: A.V.B. Norman’s typology of hilts currently serves as the standard for the classification of rapiers. However, its flat structure and minutious granularity make it inconvenient for memorization and discussion. This work proposes a restructuration of Norman’s extensive typology into fewer archetypes that renders it less cumbersome to use and follows the functional developments of complex hilts.
