Images from an old Personal Combat Guide

[justthisguy11]

I imagine people have seen these images before. I've always found them to be fascinating. I'd like to see more modern versions of these someday that match our interest. This is my first attempt at posting pictures. (L(nervously)OL) See how it goes

Great set of illustrations. This is the way I would like to see these guys attired.

Somehow I found the book on the shelves while at university. It was something like A History of Personal Combat, & covered quite a stretch of techniques for fighting and dueling. The book reproduced plates from several old texts. I liked these the most. Later I happened to find some of the images online. I have the name "Cappo Fero" attached to one of them.

Love that first on where he gets both lungs run through at once. I wish it was me!
