New Articles Posted

I've had a couple of articles posted on myArmoury.com this week that might be of some interest to readers. The first, "From Lance to Pistol" is on the transition during the 16th Century between fully armoured heavy cavalrymen on armoured horses, armed with a heavy lance, to the much lighter sort of cavalryman who was the standard of the 17th Century armed with Pistol and Carbine.

The second article is review of the doglock pistol offered by Middlesex Village Trading Company. I would urge anyone wishing to take part in the School of the Renaissance Soldier, especially the Cavalry portion, to read these.

Cheers!
