Feder (fencing)
The ''Feder'' (plural ''Federn''; also ''Fechtfeder'', plural ''Fechtfedern''), is a type of training sword used in '' Fechtschulen'' (fencing schools) of the German Renaissance. The type has existed since at least the 15th century, but it came to be widely used as a standard training weapon only in the 16th century (when longsword fencing had ceased to have a serious aspect of duelling, as duels were now fought with the rapier), shown extensively in the fighting manuals of the time, particularly those of Paulus Hector Mair and Joachim Meyer, and it remained in use in such ''Fechtschulen'' well into the 17th, and in some cases for much of the 18th century. The origin of the term "Feder" for these swords is uncertain. The German word ''Feder'' means "feather" or "quill", but came to be used of metal springs in the 17th century (i.e. at about the same time as the name of the sparring weapon and possibly influenced by it). The term ''Fechtfeder'' itself seems to be connected to th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
