Hello all!
After my first book on the long sword I now finished my second one on sword and buckler. The main part of the book covers the I.33 but Talhoffer, Lignitzer and Kal are included. Find some information below.

Title: Schwertkampf 2 - der Kampf mit dem kurzen Schwert und Buckler
Author: some bloke called Herbert Schmidt
ISBN: 978-3-938711-29-3
Pages: 240
To be found either here or on the site of the publisher.
I am as usual very thankful for any criticism and comments
best wishes

Hi Andreas,
It is indeed a shame that you didn't know anything about my first book...but only a small one ;)
Thanks for the kind words about Ars Gladii.
I am looking forward to see you in Vienna.
machs gut - bis bald!

Not everything has to be decided at the point of a sword, but somethings can only be decided at the point of a sword.

Congrats! If it comes to English, I may well have to pick up a copy. I don't focus on sword and buckler these days, but I am still a fan of it.

Yeah, herbert, you should push your publisher to translate it into english for all of us over here in the US...and well I guess those in the UK too :) .

I try to do so, really. I am working hard on it regarding my first book on the long sword. But I will use your post as another reason to write him about this. I really hope that my stuff will one day be available in english.
best wishes

Congratulations on this new book! I look forward seeing it myself.
You will bring it along to Solingen in May, will you not?

Congratulations Herbert!
Obviously, I'm linguistically challenged here, but I certainly like the cover presentation! ;) Regardless, it's great to see more people making their findings available across the world.

Herbert, it looks great. I'm sorry I never heard back from the fellow who collects period bucklers, were you able to find enough examples for your needs?
