Accessories
The item pictured is the accessory itself: a Flat Silver Minifigure Weapon Fencing Rapier with a spherical hand guard.
Color Scheme
Flat Silver. This metallic plastic finish is designed to mimic polished steel or aluminum.
Printing Details
No printing is present on this element. It relies on a unique mold with a tapered blade and a hollow spherical hilt.
Variants
Standard Flat Silver (item 93550), Pearl Gold (included with Series 13 Classic King), and White (used in Olympic CMF series).
Condition Notes
The thin blade is prone to bending or stress marks if stepped on. The tip can become blunted or white from stress. The handle bar can lose clutch power over time.
Estimated Value
$0.10 - $0.50 USD for a single loose piece. It is rarely sold individually due to low value per item.
Price (New)
Usually included in sets ranging from $3.99 (CMF) to $100+ (Modulars). Not sold separately by LEGO officially outside of Pick-a-Brick.
Compatible Sets
Set 8804 (CMF Series 4 Musketeer), Set 10218 (Pet Shop), Set 70413 (The Brick Bounty), Set 71008 (CMF Series 13 Fencer).
Character Background
Typically associated with Musketeers, Fencers, or high-seas duelists in the LEGO Pirates and Castle universes.
Design Notes
First introduced in 2011 for CMF Series 4. It features a standard 3.2mm bar handle that fits most LEGO minifigure hands.
Similar Minifigures
Pairs well with the Series 4 Musketeer, Series 13 Fencer, and Series 17 Butterfly Girl.
Collectibility
Low as a standalone item, though essential for collectors completing 'Used' figures that originally came with this weapon.
History
Replaced the older 'Large Cutlass' and 'Chrome Greatsword' designs for characters requiring a more refined, thin dueling weapon.
Interesting Facts
The hilt is semi-hollow, allowing it to be threaded onto other bar-sized elements for creative MOC builds/chandeliers.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in the hand of a minifigure in a dueling pose or placed in a weapon rack within a Castle or Pirate themed MOC.
Modification Potential
Highly useful for MOC designers for architectural detail or as part of complex mechanical builds due to its bar-handle size.
Overall Assessment
The image displays a genuine LEGO part 93550. It is a common accessory piece rather than a full minifigure, valued for its sleek and accurate fencing silhouette.
