Nice. I need to get on memorizing the Wiktenauer…
A page from a dagger (and probably grappling) manual. I wonder from which? More importantly, that’s a ballock dagger :D
Anonymous, Two studies of one man attacking another with a dagger (German, ca. 1500-10)
Not so much a fechtbuch, rather an artist who drew fencers, a lot of them in poses drawn from the Nuremburg tradition - Libr.Pict.A.83 ( http://wiktenauer.com/wiki/Berlin_Sketchbook ) mfw I realise that I’ve memorized Wiktenauer

About me
Hey all! I'm the Ginger Valkyrie! I'm called this mostly because I'm a ginger (a red head for the uninitiated) and because I study German longsword as part of HEMA (Historical European Martial Arts). I'm also a ski instructor, an archaeologist, an atheist, a singer, a huge nerd, and a general purveyor of knowledge. I seem to know a lot (or just enough to BS it) about many many topics - some which will undoubtedly appear here :DWelcome!
