Last evening I had the pleasure of hosting my former history student Andrew Shriner, as well as Shippensburg University’s fencing instructor and coach Nickolys Hinton, as speakers. They gave presentations on Medieval sword-making and the development of Spanish swords from the 17th century to the present. My undergraduates, the Shippensburg fencers, and folks from the Sala della Spada historical fencing school were among the lucky attendees. Yours truly learned a lot, and I also realize I should probably get the book featured in the fourth photo!
