Düerer's drawings present some of the clearest and most precise representations of Medieval long-sword use. Düerer was not a Fechtmeister and his book was never completed or published, but he evidently was a student and his sketches are among the best on the subject. As both a practicing Marxbrueder and a talented artist with a tremendous sense for detail, Düerer's illustrations surely depict some of the most realsitic examples of period fighting techniques available. His work contains only 13 illustrations on Langenschwert, approximately 50 on the falchion-like Messerfechten, 30 or so on dagger and more than 100 on unarmed combat.
