| Fencing Posters / Prints
Does anyone know where I can find good fencing posters or prints. I'm looking for any kind historic, modern, sword-related, sport-related, etc. My fencing school is looking for them to adourn the walls with.

| Check the vendors web sites. I know American Fencers ( www.AMFence.com) and Santelli ( www.Santelli.com) have posters and I am sure if you check the others you will have many choices.

| As millsisland pointed out, eBay usually has a large number of (overpriced) prints and (very cheap) magazine advertisements. I've bought a couple of the former and dozens of the latter.
You can also try http://www.corbis.com for digital stock-photography. Search for "Fencing" of course. They have some very nice shots, though most are staged. At one time, they offered prints of certain images, but I believe they subbed that line of business out to http://www.barewalls.com.

| I know the couple RYC's that I went to last year had posters, and NACs do, personally I think the tournament posters are the best to have in a club, gives me a sense that the club is "for real".

| Definitely. You can find some really rare stuff. I managed to buy an old Schlager poster from about 1910.

| Proprintwear was trying to sell a few (more artsy, though). You might try asking Philip Daly.

| Thanks, there were some really great suggestions.
I like the tournament posters the best. Unfortunately, I haven't seen any posters at the tournaments I go to. Maybe I overlooked them, but do all the NAC's have poster or was it just one particular one. Anyone have a digital pic of one of these. I'm definitely going to suggest that we sell posters at the next tournament we host. I usually just see t-shirts being sold at tournaments, to me the poster has SO much more appeal.
I also, really liked the psoters on American Fencing.
