Bonjour, 200T! While scavenging the shining beacon of bargains that is Craigslist, I came across something too exciting not to post for you lovelies. For exactly one Benjamin, you can take up a new sport!
How? Quite simple. Someone in San Marcos, California offers up “antique fencing foils and mask” for a mere $100. And apparently this individual is the authority in appraising various fine goods as well, since he claims:
“These things are very old, but not sure exact date. I don’t doubt, however that they are 100 years old.”
Sounds credible to me. If you’re going to take up a new sport, I always suggest protective gear and a firm grip on the rules. You can reference the Fédération Internationale d’Escrime. All you need now is a friend willing to get poked in the balls by a sharp metal stick. And you might need to learn French.
