Hello,
Search-fu is failing me now. I'm looking for a picture (woodcut?) that is black on white showing 4 landschnects and at least 2 are holding small pavises with the central channel. I'm hoping to learn something about how they are strapped. Other pictures of central chanel pavises and strap information is also appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

Sean,
Is this the one you are thinking of? It's from the triumph of Maximilian.

Most of my research shows that hand held pavises were strapped with a center grip a lot more than a side strap.

(on Pennsic) I know that movie. It is the 13th warrior. A bunch of guys in armour that doesn't match itself or anybody elses, go on a trip and argue and get drunk and get laid and then fight Tuchux.

Mac,
That is exactly the one... and regretably it was blocked at work so I couldn't confirm it until now.
PatternWeld,
Larsdatter is the google of the reenactment world. I should have thought to start there. Thanks as well.
So, of the 5 (not 4) brave men in the above picture we see one definitely with his arm strapped lengthwise, one presumably with a vertical center-grip handle, one definitely with a vertical center-grip handle, one presumably with his arm strapped lengthwise and the last with it slung on his back but the handle not bothering him. I doubt that you could get a clearer picture that says 'It depends' when it comes to strapping style.
Thank you all,
Sean
