First published under the title Ritterliche Waffenspiele in interwar Germany, Knightly Weaponry Play is a youth-accessible instructional manual for the basic wielding of longswords, single sticks, bow and arrows, and crossbows. Written by patriotic forester, naturalist, and scouting leader Herr-Doktor Wilhelm Fabricius, this book was intended to inspire activity and strength in young boys participating in environmental-survival fellowships.Illustrated and described within are swordplay techniques that clearly interpret moves of the Kunst des Fechtens - the art of fencing - as illustrated centuries earlier by venerable Fechtmeisters circa 1450-1600. Highly popular when it was originally released, this book was used as a play and practice aid by interwar German brotherhoods such as the Adler und Falken, Deutsches Jungvolk, and Pfadfinders.Antelope Hill is proud to present Herr-Doktor Wihelm Fabricius's Knightly Weaponry Play, translated into English for the first time ever by Jeffrey Hull.
