Smallsword

A smallsword, also known as a dress sword or court sword,Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag is a one-handed sword of European origin designed for thrusting and dueling which was popular during the 18th century. It is characterized by its tapering blade and its shell-shaped guard.
==Description==
Similar to the earlier rapier, the smallsword is a one-handed European sword with a slender blade which specializes in thrusting strikes. The blade tapers into a fine point though it may not necessarily be as thin as that of the rapier. Typically, a smallsword can further be identified by its hilt. It is standard for a smallsword to have a lobe or a curved, oval disc for a guard and a moderately rounded grip terminating in another lobe for the pommel.Assassin's Creed: RogueAssassin's Creed III
==History==
The height of popularity for the smallsword was the early 18th century. It was quite commonplace in the European colonies of the West Indies during the Golden Age of Piracy. As the century wore on, it became less prevalent though it still figured into the American Revolution. By the time of the French Revolution, it was largely absent from Paris.Assassin's Creed: Unity
