1. These early handcuffs have a delightfully hand-made look to them. Alas, if you were planning to use these as a prop in a play or for reenacting history, you will be well advised to hire very small actors, children if possible. They are well-made, but are so small you will be hard-pressed to find an adult of normal proportions with wrists small enough to allow the mechanism to close.As a conversation piece I can highly recommend these rustic restraints. If you need props, I suggest you keep looking.

1. This two-DVD set is an excellent introduction into use of the saber and cutlass as they might have been used in actual combat. Learning the techniques taught in this DVD set will certainly make the person who masters them a formidable opponent. For the sport fencer, these DVDs will no doubt be of interest, but they don't really teach techniques to be used in a sporting contest.
   
   The DVDs cover a multiple applications with the saber, to include:
   *Gripping Methods
   *Ready Stance or On Guard Position
   *Footwork Methods
   *Fighting Ranges
   *Seven Primary Cutting Methods
   *Five Primary Thrusting Methods
   *8 Essential Parries
   *Cut, Thrust, and Parry Drills
   *Ripostes
   *Combat Strategy
   *How to Recognize and Create Openings
   *Infighting
   *Grappling
   *Brawling
   *Throwing the Saber or Cutlass
   
   DVD number 1 in the set is taught by Anthony DeLongis, and is absolutely outstanding in its quality and instruction. Mr. DeLongis is clearly a skilled martial artist, and absolute master with the saber. His demonstrations on the DVD are both a pleasure to watch and are presented in a manner that lets one develop a basic skills set with the saber, using the DVD instruction.
   
   DVD number 2 in the set is taught by Lynn C. Thompson of the "Cold Steel" company. Mr. Thompson is no doubt a skilled martial artist in his own right, but is clearly outclassed by Mr. DeLongis. Mr. Thompson seems to be aware of this as he several times in the 2nd DVD mentions his own years of martial arts training, or how quick his eye is supposed to be, or is own perceived advantage in using the saber.
   
   Still, DVD number 2 provides the viewer with several good techniques and tricks in using the saber, which will certainly serve a man well should he ever actually use a saber in actual combat.
   
   This DVD set probably deserves a 5-star rating, but loses a little bit based on Mr. Thompson's stage presence in the DVD. -- At least he could wear pants and a clean shirt, instead of shorts and a baggy sweatshirt, when presenting a DVD about the use of a weapon like the saber.
   
   Mr. Thompson's stage presence notwithstanding, this is a fine set of instructional DVDs that belongs in the library of any gentleman interested in the combative use of the saber and cutlass.
