Straight out of Fiore's secret S&B section

@@zerozerosud shhhhh! No one needs to know that it exists!!! Jokes apart! It's interesting to read on the Pisani Dossi/Novati that Fiore describes the sword in one hand as "Spada d'una mane senza Bucolero" so sword in one hand without the buckler. He specify it probably because he was also capable of fencing with the buckler too (and so, teaching) but the buckler was no more popular between nobility and it become more a weapon used from the lower classes of society (in some places it was even forbidden). So, probably a Sword and buckler Fiore section existed... In Fiore's own mind ;-)

Only the sword in one hand section is "senza bucolero", this is a code to imply that the sword in two hands actually *has* a buckler. The shield is simply not drawn in the pictures for secrecy but most of the positions with joined hands would fit both longsword and S&B, and grappling actions can often be substituted by a shield strike :P
