| American Fencing Mag Back Issues
I found this link from a club's website. However, I've never seen this listed on the usfa site that I know of. Thought I would share it with everyone. http://www.uncg.edu/student.groups/f...ericanFencing/
These are some back issues of the USFA mag, if you ever lost a copy or wanted to take a look at some older ones. Happy holidays

| They've had that for a few years now. Last I checked (I think a coupld of months ago), it was broken...

| What I'd like is place selling really old back issues (especially pre-1975). | |

| I think they'd have to be reprints. It's doubtful that the USFA would "waste" money printing up many surplus copies, over and above those made up for the members.
I wonder whether the organization would permit reprintings by third parties, or if it'd assert it's copyright privileges. I can't see what use the rights to old issues would be to it offhand, but like the provebial dog in the manger it probably wouldn't relinquish them anyway. Just a guess. | |

| Hey, I'd settle for that. Either way, the material would be very helpful to my local fencing history project: Campeche Steel | |

If I can gain access to them (you may have heard the place is locked up), I'll let you know. Are photocopies or scanned images good enough for your purposes?

| Absolutely. It is the information that is important to me. The window dressing is nice, but hardly essential.
Hey, it's a history project. The only really important thing is to get it right.
I should add thanks to Oscar Barrera who lent me his issues from about 1975-1985. This gives me the years Michel Sebastiani (now at Princeton) ran a salle in Houston. (A salle that included current Cornell coach AL Peters in his competitive years). | |

| Okay, I'll let you know if and when I get the magazines again. Since it looks like you're looking for regional news, I can filter for that and for the people you've mentioned. By odd coincidence, I competed against Brooklyn College when Sebastiani was there.

| Ah.. good news. That site was down for so long. I quickly saved a copy of my favorite article by Hayes on Lasker and balance. BTW, Schlager7, I've always liked your site. Real cool for those of us who are interested in the big picture. It also reminds me that I should really finish some research that I started awhile back on the 70's era League of Renaissance Swordsmen. | |

| Thank for the kind words, Chris. Those little encouragements keep us going. Let me throw some encouragement back at you and urge you to dive back into that research! I'll be anxiously waiting to take a read at what you put together. | |
