I believe Patri Pugliese has access to hardcopies he will photocopy (As well
as Burton's bayonet manual). He does this out of love for the sword, not as
a business so it can take six weeks or more to get them that way.

I have copies of Hutton's manuals, and of Burton's book of the sword...
Burton's manual is elusive though... I hear it exists/it doesnt exist. But
have heard many say that they have seen it. Ever seen a copy?
