The "Diana" belt is a simple yet pleasant belt made from very sturdy upper leather, finished with a D-Ring buckle. To close it, you just pull the rim through one opening, and return it through the other opening. Afterwards you lock it by using a loopknot, just pull the rim behind the belt from downside upwards, and pull it in front of the beld downwards through the created loop. This way you achieve the "medieval belt"-look. Material: upper leatherColours: brown, blackLength: app. 155cmWidth: 2,5cm

DragonSys Lebendiges Mittelalter - Modernes Training mit dem langen Schwert (DragonSys Living Middle Ages - Modern Longsword Training)Christian Henry Tobler Modern longsword training based on Lichtenauer's teachings Praise is due to Christian Henry Tobler for reviving Meister Lichtenauer's more than 600-year-old fencing manuals. Tobler developed a modern introductory training programme for historical swordsmanship based on the works of Liechtenauer and his successors. In the course of 15 chapters and using nearly 500 images, the author illustrates the basic stances, slashes, terminology, tactics, and technique of sword fencing without armour, using spears, and wearing suits of armour. 28 step-by-step training units introduce novices, but also experiences "swordsmen" to Liechtenauer's system. Tobler's book doubtlessly is a milestone in the re-discovery of traditional European combat. This is the first edition published in German.Published by GuS Verlag, 2007 19 x 26.7 cm, paperback, 240 pages with more than 450 black and white pictures

With texts specifically written for this artbook, best-selling author Bernhard Hennen lends even more depth to select characters, peoples, and places of his well-known "Elfen" saga (published in English under the title "The Elven"). Thus, dramatic events within his novels condense into a fantastical atmosphere.Specifically tailored to suit this volume, renowned artists Mia Steingräber, Jenny Dolfen, and Felix Mertikat created vivid interpretations of the characters and stories with their detailed illustrations. Together with photographer Marja Kettner, Hennen also roamed through the vastness of Iceland and Ireland to find picture motifs that seem to have come to life from his books.96 pages, 21 x 29.7 cm high-quality softcoverNovember 2009ISBN 978-3-938922-22-4 Please note: this book is available in German only.

More confusing and impenetrable than the Amazon rainforest – that's how an uninitiated observer (and most others) views the medieval scene in Europe. What does the term "Marktfraggle" describe? What's the difference between re-enactment, Living History, and medieval camp life? And how do you reach the rank of what's been dubbed "A-Papst" (meaning authenticity pope, i. e. those advocating portraying characters in the most authentic way possible and frown upon portrayals lacking historical evidence) as quickly as possible? These are just some of the questions author Wolf Zerkowski answers in his tongue-in-cheek manner in this short guidebook. Endowed with the knowledge of the proper terminology for the scene, the reader will soon be able to slander along with the best of them around the campfire of a night!ISBN: 978-3-938922-34-7Please note: this book is available in German only.
