Uniform

The MEMAG uniform is designed to create a professional look and feel while training, increase focus in class, better simulate historical clothing, and create a sense of school and guild identity. The basic uniform consists of a ¾ length sleeve cotton shirt with the school and guild’s logo and name, and plain white or black knickers. Knee-high socks in solid black, yellow, and/or red, or under-armor type thermal tights are recommended for training in cold weather. Thin-soled shoes or boots are recommended but not madatory.

Federschwert

This will be the most used and most expensive piece of training equipment. We have compiled a list of Federschwerts that MEMAG will allow ranging from inexpensive to top of line and if needed comments about each one. The links are for product identification and unless noted do not always represent the best price

Low to Mid Range

Hanwei Practical hand and a half Comments: Blade is a bit short (34 1/4 In)

Hanwei Practical Bastard Sword

Tinker Pearce Blunted Bastard Sword Comments: Blade is a bit short (33 In) and edges have been reported to be too thin requiring filing more than the other Federschwert

Hanwei Federschwert (2nd Generation) Comments: This is the Federschwert we use in our free play and our preferred choice in the Low to Mid Range category. If used in class its best to pair up with another Hanwei Federschwert user. The thinner blade will not stand up to excessive training against a heavier Federschwert.

Zweihander Longsword Hilts Comments: To avoid excessive flex in the blade order the 43" blade and grind down to 38".

Fiori Longsword Hilts Comments: To avoid excessive flex in the blade order the 43" blade and grind down to 38".

High Range (Highly recommended)
