As always, I see interpretations of living documents that can change over time with new info and insight. I’m always happy to hear about folk’s own interpretations and the like. You can dive a little deeper into Alfieri’s sword & cloak guards over at my blog. ---- DONATIONS: If you found this video useful or interesting, please consider a small donation so I can continue to produce rapier & other historical martial arts content.
