Talk:Colichemarde

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Pronunciation

How does one pronounce "colichemarde"? This is probably fairly relevant, since the article mentions how the name may be derived from "Konigsmark" due to similarities in pronunciation. (I'm guessing something along the lines of "ko-lish-merd" or "ko-li-che-mar-de"?) Macroidtoe 03:55, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] George Washington Citation

I've tentatively added a citation for the claim that George Washington owned a colichemarde-bladed smallsword. I found scans from a book here[1], and I'm going to try to obtain a copy of the book to get the full publication information and page number (unless someone who already has the book would like to do it first).

Found a copy of the book (that was fast!), added the citation. The same book also had a reference for the claim about the colichemarde/Konigsmark connection. Macroidtoe 00:11, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
