Research

Guard Up Instructors, past and present, have dedicated a great deal of time and effort to their Historical Weapons research.  This page is dedicated to just some of that research.  We hope you enjoy some of their findings, compilations and speculations.

Thank you, in particular, to Joe Cantor... for his outstanding service to our community and labor intensive, articulate and impressive results.  You continue to be an inspiration, Joe.
