I really like seeing these complex guards from so many different angles: Surprising how different these guards look from difference angles.

These are often shown only from a very limited side view and usually the ring side: There is so much 3 Dimensionality that short of actually handling one it takes all these angles to understand the shapes of the guards.

Good articles Bill. :D You have been busy. ;) :lol:

Grand articles indeed! Thanks & well done Bill!


Cheers,

Bill

And a beautiful wallpaper !

Well done, Bill. You did all the heavy lifting for this update, I see. I really like that Milanese rapier.

Cheers and thanks for the reading material. I don't own many skinny swords but like the style.

Thanks Glen! Please private message me any corrections or whatever. It seems like a more appropriate means of communication than sharing it with the world and hoping the single person who can actually make the change will read it :) ;)
