Now what I'd like to see more of is halfsword and spear and pollaxe thrust testing. Specifically, "place and push" tests, where you place your point with little particular force but then drive the point into the target (e.g., the armpit through a mail voider). We've done some preliminary experiments in my Schule, but nothing too formal against a properly mounted target. |
Ask and you shall receive!
I just need to secure another piece of maille (this time a much smaller one would do) and I'm good to go. I have a good quality imported hauberk, but it's 9mm and no where near as good as Julio's.
Give me some time...I'll call it "Harnesfechten Tests".
