Excellent insight Timo, thank you !
There are certainly advantages and disadvantages to guards on swords. I recall the matter of the Royal Scots Greys huge disc hilt swords (M1796) in the British cavalry. The disc caused horrible chafing of the uniform and discomfort, so it was ordered that the inside of the discs be ground off. |
