Thought this article on Portuguese 2-handed sword might be of interest... "This article presents a full translation of the Memorial of the Practice of the Montante, a manuscript on the use of the two-handed sword preserved in the Ajuda Library in Lisbon, Portugal. Written in 1651 by Diogo Gomes de Figueyredo". http://oakeshott.org/Figueiredo_Montante_Translation_Myers_and_Hick.pdf Louie
I took Craig's class at the last ISMAC. I gotta say that Montante is different from what I expected. I really wish them success in their research. Peace favor your sword, Kirk
