Ok looking at the Schiavona i have seen and become obsessed with, is there a schiavona with lining inside the guard? mabey red velvet.

ok i dont know what it was but it looked awsome if i find a picture i will send it to you i know youl agree but your right thats why i said it looked similar to a schiavona had mated with a sabre not quite a sabre not quite a schiavona. but would you say i could find a way to safely convert a Napoleonic Cavalry sabre into a safe dueling sabre perhapse dulled aluminum? or even a tough composit? or would there be a company that could make somthing like that with a button on the tip. i know paul chen makes practical blades that are sparing safe does anyone make sabre blades like that.

Check out this hybrid with a liner.

thats it the only difference is it was a little smaller, silver and had red velvet but never the less thats it i love the way that looks almost like a scottish basket hilt but MUCH smaller. but i have another question (i should mention that i get hooked on things very quickly) where could i find somthing like the Phoenix Metal Creations Pappenheimer Sword but has a stiff fencing blade that could hold up sparring against stronger materials?
