The good news is that once you buy them they don't exactly wear out or anything so they should pretty much last forever. It is just a little hard to pay that kind of money for a glorified hex nut... Just another lost soul saved by the (hit) First Church of EPEE!

Too Many Logos / Union Jacks I have mostly Leon Paul stuff, but I remove most of the patches that come with them.
They way over do it with all the lables, you truly do look like a walking billboard.

Hmm, if I made up a batch of schermasport style pommels, would anyone be interested? I'd like to make one for myself, at some point. So I might draw up a design and make several. Also, are they stainless?
It would also be possible to make some larger ones to allow them to fit flush with the larger grips.

That is all contained in the tag on the inside of the equipment. I'm sure not to remove any of that, just the perifrial stuff, like the collar patch, or the knicker pocket patch. The patch on the mask obviously stays.

It seems to me like the vast majority of fencing equipment has tags and labels in the places you've mentioned... why single out LP? "When Fascism comes to America, it will come wrapped in the flag and bearing a cross."
