Also thanks for the other answers. |
Thank you for the kind words. While I did not know Mr. Seifert personally, like with you, he always graciously answered my many questions. I still have his letters tucked into my old copy of "Schwert Degen Sabel" alongside his work on the Blucher sabel. He was a true fountain of knowledge and always openly shared it and encouraged the advance of study on these weapons. I think these sages of our fields of study would be delighted to see us still carrying forward where they left off.
