I get the feeling that one well placed blow would snap them forks right off. I assume originally the idea was to catch your opponents sword between the main blade and a fork and then twist the whole thing to snap the blade.

They are known as a trident main gauche. They have them on these sites: http://www.armae.com/Zenglish/renaissance/renaissance_sword_and_rapier.htm http://www.by-the-sword.com/acatalog/Trident_Main_Gauche_SH1031.html

Just send me a message on here when you want them and we'll sort it out.

This is a Replica of King George 1st 1717 Proclamation announcing the Act of Grace, and the London Gazette broadsheet from 14th September 1717 reporting the Act of Grace being issued. This act was to suppress piracy in the West Indies by allowing Pirates to surrender themselves to any agents of the government and recieve a full pardon of their crimes. Close ups of the documents: Both documents are actual size and are printed on parchment paper at the moment until i can source some hemp paper or the like. The Proclamation is 12"x17" and the Broadsheet (which is double sided) is 6.5"x11.5". I gave them both a weathered look as I imagine the Proclamation was put up as a poster around ports and docks to inform the locals so was subjected to outdoor conditions. The broadsheet I weathered and dirtied up a bit as I would have imagined it would have travelled quite a distance aboard a damn ship before it fell into the hands of the citizens of the west indies. I'll be selling them on my website as soon as its up as companion pieces to my Letters of Marque. Theres more pictures of these Documents in my gallery
