My New Swords

[SOLANCO]

Decades ago Cold Steel advertised Chinese cavalry sabers circa 1930. Bought one. Liked it and bought two more. Always figured I'd find something to do with them.
About ten years ago had a local smith turn them into a chair side table for my glass. Saber flats are good for smacking misbehaving great grand kids too.

yes his son is making them now.

Hi Toot

I've heard that his Son (and maybe one other ?) have taken over the business and continue to build. Can't confirm this, but others on this Forum probably can.

Rick

yes you are right, his son is carrying on the tradition.

Am I mistaken in thinking in modern fencing terms, the term "saber fencing" means with a rapier?

I know full well the difference in a real saber, so I'm not referring to that, btw. I've collected 18th and 19th century swords for some time and have quite an extensive number of books on swords.
