Dussacken were probably the cheapest and most widespread kind of fencing weapon between the 15th and the 18th century. This is an excedingly rare iron sample from Germany…
Most Dussacken were made from wood. None, to my knowledge, survive today. A rare iron Dussack, dated to the early 16th century, was found at Nymburg, now in the Czech Republic. It was forged from one piece of metal, with a prolonged and curved blade c. 60cm long and weighing 600g.

William Hope’s Scots Fencing Master, or Compleat small-swordman, in which is fully described the whole Guards, Parades, and Lessons belonging to the Small-Sword &c., Edinburgh: John Reid, 1687 is not exactly an example of indigenous Highland swordsmanship. Rather, it is a practical adaptation of Continental practices embraced by an ardent amateur swordsman.

The spread of the Italian School…
Despite Angelo’s Italian family background, British fencing in the 19th century was heavily imprinted by the French school. (After all, the riding master Domenico Angelo Tremamondo had studied fencing in Paris.) As the dynasty declined toward the late 1800’s, Parise’s new Italian method was being spread through Europe by masters like Barbasetti, Sestini, Santelli.
In London, it was Magrini who managed to establish the Italian School among the London upper crust. This image is from a 1908 article in a short-lived English sporting magazine.
