the fencing bobbly head from big4ourbritches.com/. I have one and it is really cool. They also have a lot of great shirts and other things that fencers can get a kick out of.

A huge fencing mask? A huge jacket?

OK, sorry.

Maybe a "hit" on Rene Roch?

Seriously, if it were me...a videotape or DVD of high-level international fencing, like the Olympic ones Edew is selling. ( No, he isn't paying me to talk them up. He can if he likes, though. ) That's on the low end of the price scale. On the high end---tuition to a top-notch fencing camp?

[HeyGoalie]

thanks so much- i think he'll get a kick out of those shirts...now if only i got some of the jokes you were right about the bobble head too!

[VELISARIOS]

Try any book about fencing or DVD.

A dvd or book are always appreciated, or you may try proprint wear, they have some pretty neat fencting tee- shirts

now if only i got some of the jokes :confused:

Don't worry, the jokes weren't aimed at you. They were posted (presumably) primarily to entertain Inq., and secondarily to entertain the rest of the frequent readers who did understand them.

Well, HeyGoalie said "he's a huge fencer", so...

This auction site has mostly replica swords but a few nice antiques. For example, check out the following:

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/Vie...?Item=31145371

Maybe some of the senior members have an idea what this sword is worth. It's been up for sale on and off for quite some time--he might take a lower offer. I don't have any idea--but I would like to have it myself! Good luck.

Well, if it's been offered for sale at that price multiple times without a buyer than the answer to what it's worth is clearly something less than that.

I would not think you could go too far wrong at $250--Similar ones I've seen (pictures of) are 3 times more (see link below). But your logic is irrefutable--I must be missing something. . . .
