Re: 5th peerage, a letter from a White Scarf

Also, some of our White Scarves are squired to Knights. From reading the Chivalry forum, I have seen how special those knight-squire relationships are. A separate peerage would enable those rapier peers to continue their squiredom in armored combat. No one I have ever seen, anywhere, is advocating ...

That looks like Christian Fletcher handle and scabbard work, all right, which would make it one of Gus's. He never put any maker's marks on his blades that I can remember.
