Mär
[edit]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
Quillon
[edit]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
[edit]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)
Before "crossguard"
[edit]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
[edit]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.
