Rez,

At one time you were able to purchase aluminum weapons from Valentine's Armory
(http://www.varmouries.com/index.html), or from Darkwood Armory
(http://www.darkwoodarmory.com/catalog2.shtml). Try looking there.

Good luck,

Ka'ge

I know this is (or used to be) a Classical Fencing List but I am hoping some
of you will be able to answer my question. Anyone know where I can find
aluminum Longsword practice weapons for blade on blade contact?

My wooden wasters work fine for my beginner students but they bounce a bit
for intermediate level students. I have several students in my German
Longsword class (Lichtenaur) who are ready to move up to metal but cant
afford steel practice Longswords yet.

Aluminum Longswords used to be available for between $160 and $180 at
http://www.swordcrafts.com/ the folks who made them for AEMMA. However, I
was told they are temporarily (or permanently) not making them anymore

Thanks.
