Hi,
My name is Stephen Fisher. I am 18 years old, and
have been sport fencing since I was 12 and started
historical swordplay about 3 years ago. I practice
Italian rapier play. (Fabris, Capo Ferro, Alfieri),
small sword (Angelo,L'Abbat,Hope, with a bit of the
transitional periods De Liancour mixed in)and
saber(Angelo's "Hungarian & Highland Broad Sword" and
the practice sabre of Hutton's time)along with
singlestick. Lately I have been doing some solo
pratice with Marozzo and Aggrippa. I'm the only person
knowledgeable of the sword in my town. Lately I've
been trying to convert a few of my fellow fencers. My
favorite swordfighting movie is a cross between Roby
Roy/The Duelists/ and the Three/Four Musketeers and my
favorite book the Secrets of the Sword.
Also, can anyone supply me with the last 7 plates
from D. Angelo's 1763 smallsword treatise. And does
anyone know where I can find a copy of A. Hutton's The
Swordsman.
Thanks,
Stephen Fisher
