To all who receive this ... Please forward to any/all Combat Archery 
mailing lists, archers, & Marshals.

After consultation with numerous officers & Society Earl Marshal 
Hrothgar ... The following ruling is going into effect:

"Effective immediately, due to manufacturing issues, all one-piece 
Baldar Blunts are banned from use on the field.  These are the style of 
blunt that have been made for the last two years, that are all black and 
from a single mold.  Baldar Blunts made of a two-piece mold are fine.  
Marshals, when inspecting Baldar Blunts that are all-black, look for the 
circumferential partition line that will exist on two-piece blunts and 
fail any that do not exhibit this."

For reference (I will get some better pictures up later), here are some 
photos I snagged from the web (Thanks NorthStar):

Old two-part mold blunts:

New one-part mold blunt:

NOTE:  Duke Baldar has graciously offered to replace ALL one-piece mold 
blunts with the older two-piece style at his cost.  Details of how to 
effect said replacement will be posted on his website soon:

ALSO:  Just for your information, Duke Baldar has decided for various 
reasons at this point, that other than the replacement batch for the 
last 2 years worth of blunts, that he will not be making any more Baldar 
Blunts.   All two-part blunts in service will remain legal in Society 
Rules.  He is investigating switching over to providing UHMW style 
blunts instead in the future.

Again, please forward this email to all CA mailing lists & Marshals to 
ensure that everyone knows.

If you have any questions about this ruling, please contact me at this 
email address.

In Service,
Lord Siegfried Sebastian Faust - Deputy Society Earl Marshal for Combat 
Archery
