Thank you Jim!

I had seen many of your posts and I sincerely appreciate the insight on this topic.

I was sort of coming to that conclusion with so many experts in here, that I figured it would be tough to figure out. It turns out I have ancestors that fought as British regulars, Provincial army during the French and Indian war at Lake George, at the Lexington battle, and then in Vermont as Captains. I just visited there to find the graves and explore their towns.Thus my foray into this. I love these swords, almost as much as some of my prized nihonto, but certainly more of a “connection”. Nihonto has a mind boggling amount of information to learn just to get going so I have a ton of vested interest there.

I did get Neuman’s book, and I have the “Armes Blanche” on the way just to poke around. Thanks so much and I have really enjoyed your well detailed posts. I learned a lot from you.

Great site here.

Best,

Jeff
