Fast source for Hawley Sword, Smith and Mon charts?

[Randy McCall]

I've just been tagged to present a set of talks / demos on iaido, sword history, sword care, etc. at a local event in the last weekend of this month... something of a surprise, to say the least.

 

I went online to find see about ordering some of the Hawley charts (sword parts, smiths and mons), where I quickly discovered only two sellers; Hawley Publishing themselves and the Bugei Trading company. Both have informed me that I have to order by surface mail, preferably sending a money order. As I'm based in Canada, there's no way I'm going to be able to send the order and have the charts back in time.

 

Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't carry these items, nor do any major Canadian book / martial arts retailers (at least that I can find).

 

Does anyone know of a retailer where I can purchase via credit card or PayPal for a rush order?

 

Thanks!

Are there not equivalent charts available via the internet? John

Hi John. I've found a decent, non-copyrighted version on Wikipeda for basic sword parts. I might be able to blow up to crowd viewable size. Hawley's work is just much more complete... and perhaps a little nicer

Thanks anyways, Barry!
