My apologies Fernando for this oversight, I had not remembered you cited Laning as the author in your excerpt in that post, and I thought I had found support for that content in my effort. Whatever the case, your position on the well described 'Burton fantasy' is well placed, and properly acknowledged. It seems that the advance of serious study of sword history marches on, and I do appreciate the contributions you have always made sincerely.
