Another New Scissor relief

[Martin Moser]

Hi Patrick,

thanks for your reply.

Please give me the link to the post of the chainmail-test!

Found it:

I think the padding should be too thick so that the Scissor wouldn't be movable enough anymore!!! He couldn't bend anymore as well!
So he wouldn't be able to fight at all!!!

According to the test this doesn't seem to have been necessary, as the padding used was 5-8mm in thickness.

Don't forget: What you have seen are exhibition fights. This is more show than everything else. I know three groups which have a Scissor! Two of them are absolutely show groups (and by the way: in one case absolute not and in the other case not very authentic)!!!

I don't forget they are :-) ) I'm talking about Marcus' group, of which I'm a member for some 4 years now.

I know one of Junkelmanns Secutors. He is of the same mind like me about the Scissor. Next time when I will see him I will ask after the conact to the Junkelmann Scissor.

Is that Christoph (obviously it's not been me, but I haven't done a secutor for more than a year either ;-) ) )? I've never talked to him about that ....

Finally pulled out the the book and as Conal kindly pointed out above there is a relief showing quite clearly a retiarius and a scissor in a fight (Junkelmann, Marcus. Das Spiel mit dem Tod. p.110, Abb. 159)
