Perhaps nobody noticed Lew's question, which seems particularly key to this discussion.....when exactly did we lose Dr. Figiel? Does anybody know?
I was also unaware that Brian Robson ("Swords of the British Army") had passed, and uncertain of when that took place. It is always sad to lose these men who have contributed so much to the study of weapons. Surprisingly, even those whose work has been known to be flawed in varying degree, have in thier own way set the path for research, such as Dr.Pant.
