Bill,

Excellent articles, especially "call to arms". The explanations and interperations regarding Italian rapier combat were very well written. In fact so well written that even a novice like me could follow it without confusion. I was also very impressed with your review of the Darkwood pappenheimer. I've aways been a sword freak, but the rapier only recently grabbed my attention. Now the more research I do on the subject the more fascinated I become. :eek: I guess I'm doomed.

Thank You
