Fascicules ARIES: ARMES BLANCHES MILITAIRES FRANCAISES, du regne de Louis XIV à nos jours
ANCIEN PRIX: 870 €
Document de travail indispensable pour les collectionneurs et reconstitueurs.
Le propriétaire précédent de ces fascicules dont la parution s'est échelonnée pendant plus de 20 ans a eu la très bonne idée de les relier par thématique.
Tous ceux qui ont utilisé les fascicules non reliés parus dans un ordre parfois déroutant, apprécieront cette initiative!
329 planches reliées en 7 volumes + 5 séries de fascicules brochés.
Poids total de 14,4 kg. L'ensemble des fascicules avec les coffrets pèse normalement 15 kg.
Ici les coffrets ont été remplacés par les couvertures. S'il manque des fascicules (nous ne les avons pas tous repointés...), ce ne pourrait être que quelques unités!
Les modèles sont précisément décrits avec des indications sur le poids, les dimensions, les variantes....etc.
Un travail jamais égalé qui est largement remboursé par les erreurs que vous éviterez de commettre grâce aux informations contenues dans les planches.
Les étiquettes des couvertures des livres sont un peu fatiguées, bon état par ailleurs, planches impeccables.
Aigle et pistolet pas inclus dans le prix, il s'agit juste d'une suggestion de représentation

Bokken. Price without display
Voici ce qu'en dit wikipedia:
"Le bokken (木剣?, littéralement « sabre de bois ») ou bokutō (木刀?, nom généralement utilisé au Japon) est un sabre japonais en bois imitant la forme du katana.
Il peut être utilisé avec la garde (tsuba) qui protège les mains, ou sans la garde.
Il est employé dans l'aïkido, le iaido, le jōdō, le kendo, le kenjutsu et le ninjutsu. Il est également utilisé comme arme pour l'entrainement au chanbara. Utilisé à l'origine pour l'entraînement, il est aussi devenu une arme de combat. Le samouraï Miyamoto Musashi est réputé pour ses combats au bokken, notamment lors de son duel contre Kojirō Sasaki. Il est l'arme par excellence du kenjutsu dans la plupart des koryū.
Comme les katanas, les bokken ont suivi leur époque, et chaque école traditionnelle historique — Tenshin Shoden Katori Shintō Ryu, Kashima Shinto Ryu, Yagyu Ryu, Yagyu Shinkage Ryu, Hyoho Niten Ichi Ryu, etc. — possède des caractéristiques physiques, poids, courbure, longueur, pointe, épaisseur, adaptée à la technique de cette école. Il existe aujourd’hui plus d’une centaine de modèles, dont environ la moitié est toujours utilisée."
Voici les caractéristiques du modèle que nous proposons.
