Sword Festival at the Deutsches Klingenmuseum Solingen

[kai]

Hello Dave,

I have recently learned about an event that may be of interest. It is the Sword Festival at the Deutsches Klingenmuseum Solingen. In particular, there is a collectors workshop.

There will be a collector's convention (for show and tell), a sword & accessories fair, as well as a broad assortment of lectures, demos and workshops. Some of these will be in German, some in English - the full program will be available in May, I guess.

Roland is referring to only one of these events, a full-day workshop which will be about antique sword blades and how to preserve, restore, and to test them (including for MA practise if so preferred). This is hosted by a few forumites (guess who ) and a questionnaire should be available online this weekend. Depending on the actual turn-out, we'll try to accommodate English and/or German speaking participants.

It would be great to meet any other forumites at the event and our workshop!

Regards,
Kai
