I recently came across several German smallsword treatise and have been reading my way through them.

Has anyone translated any of these? I have looked arround both here and on SFI and it seems that there has been some interest on and off again.

If there is interest I might think about translating one or two in the process of studying them. It would take quite a while... Kahn is 271 pages and Schmidt is over 400 albeit small pages.

I would be interested in reading them. Are you thinking of translating and publishing them? If so I would, and I know at lest 2 other people that would buy a copy.

I will keep you guys posted.

Do you have your version digital or analogue (=paper) ?
if digital i would be happy to get it (if not copyrighted).
