Any other rapiers in the price range.

Tanner:

Can't help on the Deschaux, but if by "Town Guard" you mean the Munich cut'n'thrust, Warlokk has a review in the archives, and MyArmoury.com had a discussion of it.

Come to think of it, I think Dave Kelly might have one as well.

I love my Munich... it's a lovely piece. You can see it in my avatar too, I wear it as part of my Solomon Kane/WH40K Witch Hunter outfits

Don't know about the Deschaux, but as a true rapier it will most likely be at least somewhat whippy. The Munich blade is much more stout, and not quite as long so it's not whippy at all.

trooperwill: I have just been appointed conservator and Guardian for Dave Kelly and have no experience or knowledge of swords. I would appreciate any assistance that folks who know Dave or have visited with him and seen his collection could give me. need appraisal Nov 28, 2024 0:05:16 GMT

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT

choseychas: That's what I figured, wasn't sure if it had become a limited club where you have to know someone to get in or what was going on. Nov 18, 2024 2:39:40 GMT

txhighlander: Boston might be my fav. So much history, and clean! and great food. New York was cool for a day to see iconic landmarks Nov 7, 2024 17:00:22 GMT

eskiso: someone can help me to identify a sword and its origin, to see its commercial value please. 2346
