    Nice. I'll send you by mail a pdf version of "le Trophée d'Armes", a drill manual of 1660.

    Concerning my reenacting project, the kit is still in progress, but it will be finished in August, to take part at the XVIIth century fair at Brouage (nice fortified town in West France). Nice event, with serious french reenactors like Compagnie la Courbière or Sans-Pareil 1690
