Mär

In the anime called "Mär," there are characters called crossguards that fight to defend their land from the evil Chess Pieces. I think there should be an aricle title "Crossguard (Mär)" to clear this up for fans of the anime. 138.88.117.189 15:44, 11 February 2007 (UTC)Manga_King[reply]

Quillon

the word qillon redirects here, but this article doesn't explain what a quillon is. We need a diagram of a hilt.

Thanks!

Glasgow museum

The article claims a given sword is in "Glasgow Museum". There is no institution by that name - Glasgow has many museums, of which several exhibit swords. The most likely place is Kelvingrove Museum, which has a permanent exhibition of armour, swords, and the like, but a more precise reference is required. -- Finlay McWalterჷTalk 18:59, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Before "crossguard"

If we are defining the Crossguard as something which developed on European swords in the Medieval period, what do we call the same thing from before that period, or elsewhere?

Quillon - translation

Calling this a 'bowling pin' is rather jarring. Quille means keel, pin, skittle so I see where it comes from. Kegel means cone. But I'm not an expert. I suspect there has been an attempt to put it into modern American English.A source is needed if 'bowling pin' is used.
