Oh neat, I haven't seen this one. Do you know when it was drawn and who did it?
Btw, all of your threads are cool and interesting.

Absolutely, whoever made that manuscript was just as knowledgeable as Talhoffer.
I've actually done lots of searching and researching of sword fighting manuscripts from the medieval and renaissance world and have found much but I have never seen what you posted here and it's a really good quality one. Very good find.

Page 55
Thats more flex than I would have thought "way more actually" for a sword with a diamond shaped blade to it.
Or maybe he is just really strong and is trying to scare his opponent by bending a stiff blade

Yeah, mustachioed macho man means muscle.
Which end is he going to let go of?
The blade point going to snap forward or the hilt come over and wallop him like a murder-stroke?

I was going to say that I think he's loading a twin barrelled gun, but looking at the picture again I'm not so sure anymore.

Here's my profile of the Berlin:
http://wiktenauer.com/wiki/Berlin_Sketchbook_%28Libr.Pict.A.83%29
Which reminds me that I need to go find the source for the Durer attribution. I think it was Strauss, but I might be wrong. This is a fascinating little manuscript, though. The anonymous S&B series replicated with longswords, the strange armored positions, and the single longsword is all over the place.

Funny you should make that comparison, because most of the dagger plays that weren't sourced from Nuremberg come from the Gotha version of Talhoffer (that's not mentioned in the article linked above, since mapping out the exact overlap is still on my todo list).
