I don't know what's going on here:
but I sense terrible outcomes if it were done in period.
What's going on is that David [on the right] is about to experience what it is like to make out with the floor.
Great pics. Are some of those sabers either period originals, or 18th century-ish antiques?
All of those in the pictures are period originals. Tom brought a couple 19th century sabres, we both brought a couple of 18th century smallswords, both of us brought a couple of Renaissance rapiers/edge swords, I brought a schiavona, and Tom brought a couple of 16th century polearms. We did have a couple Albion replicas to represent the medieval weaponry, as Tom and I are not rich enough to own originals from that era.
I do regret that we didn't get more pictures of the originals all together, but oh well.
