Hi, Chris!
Nice blog! Thanks for sharing from your collection. These tidbits that you are feeding us are invaluable for getting more of a feel of past fencing practice. Often, the items you post are most unexpected, and do a good job of pointing out how much more there is to learn about the practice of fencing in past times.

Thanks, Chris, for your interesting work throughout the years toward restoration of Fencing as a true classical martial art. Keep up the good work.

Hello!
I must tell you my complete admiration for the stuff you provide here… Really for a enthusiast like me it’s a real great interest to read it all every week!
As I’m a fencer myself, mainly on smallsword for now after some rapier years, and a amateur of craftmanship,I plan to recreate a 19th century dueling sword case. So, if you can post on the next weeks some dueling sword of the period it will be 1- fun 2- interesting 3- practical (at least for me).
So, thanks and please continue!!!

Thanks for the kind words. I pledge to upload a case of dueling smallswords by Monday.

Lieber Herr Amberger,
‘Meister Google’ führte mich auf dieses hochinteressante Blog, in dem ich nun mit Freude und Interesse lesen durfte.
Sogleich ‘gebookmarkt’, selbstverständlich.
Persönlich bin ich sehr interesseirt an allem, was mit deutschem Säbelfechten der Kaiserzeit zu tun hat, eine Fechtweise die ich auch in meiner Fechtschule lehre.
mit Fechtergruß
