Good job, amigo. It sounds indeed like a "once in a lifetime" sort of meeting, although I also share your hope that such a meeting occurs again.

All of you guys pulling together made it possible for me to attend on ARMA's behalf. I consider your collective trust an honor of the highest caliber.

The event was truly an awesome effort on the Armour Research Society's part and there will be a more "nuts and bolts" recap of my vast notes in the ARMA members area in the relatively near future. Too boring for the casual reader maybe, but a real treasure trove for my fellow enthusiasts! <img src="/forum/images/icons/grin.gif" alt="" />

BTW
Shane, I have a A&amp;A replica of the German longsword you handled (although I'm trying to sell it), and it defiantly is a chopper. Your right in saying it may be a bit "tough to twitch a flurry of zwerchauen," but it is a mean cutter.
