Sabre Armoury Section
Here you will find information on the three weapons, how they work and how to repair them. The three weapons are Foil, Epee and Sabre. Remember that a larger more detailed section on armoury can be found on the worldwide website www.leonpaul.com and if you still can not find what you need try posting on the fencing.net armoury section. Special thanks to Chris Wheeler Master Armourer for his help in constructing this section.
There is little point in attempting to repair your weapon without at least the items listed as essential below. Some of these are common things that most households should have, however other items (test box, test weight etc..) are fencing specific and can be purchased from venders. Leon Paul now carry a repair kit reference TW12 which contains all the items you need to get you started.
