> Greetings Your Grace from Donwenna,

> I do so appreciate hearing from you!

> Right now we have loaner gear to outfit two rapier fighters. They were
> bought from Zen Warrior. the blades are swept hilt style parrying dagger  
> and
> swept hilt style rapier blades ( see picture in catalog
> http://www.zenwarriorarmory.com/catalog.php?item=231&catid=71&ret=catalog.ph
> p%3Fcategory%3D71 ) This will be leaving in just a couple of weeks. So my
> experts determined that we will need two complete sets of gear as follows:

> 2 FENCING MASKS
> 2 GORGETS
> 2 Parrying Daggars Flexi/safe-flex
> 2 Schlager 30"-42" (any style)
> 2 Fencing jackets (preferable 42-44" chests)

> Optional 2 bucklers, anything else for parrying

> We do not need gloves, groin protection, or female chest protection

> +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

> We figure if we get several of 2 complete sets of things than we can  
> outfit
> the several fighters for each practice at a time so we do not have to
> continually change things.

> I have a secure storage area and I have a Transition Plan set up for when  
> we
> will hand off the gear to the next set of Deployers. We all are overlapped
> in our deployments so we will have good continuity. I will keep a hand in  
> to
> verify the transistions as they occur even if I am not here.

> Please confirm my Shipping address and when you will ship so that I can
> alert my Army Team to pick up bigger boxes for me.
