Hi,

Anyone have any clue as to when peened on pommels on fencing weapons
disappeared? Did the threaded pommel immediately become the norm?
I seem to remember seeing a couple of two part pressfit looking
pommels in a box of old pommels some years ago, but couldn't figure
out what kept the halves together - Also, when did the figure eight
foil guard get dropped from usage, and was it a mandated change in
the rules, or was it a choice migration to the current little round
guards, that later became required? help, anyone?

Thanks.

chris
