Picked this up on eBay for $22 USD including shipping. There are a number of Russian dealers selling them. Evidently they are based on a real incident.

link It apparently did happen. And there was even a medical reason for the ladies being topless. |

It was also the subject of a lot of "French postcards" in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Sorry I canīt post any examples. :D |

It's probably for the best that Ridley Scott didn't get wind of this. |

And there was even a medical reason for the ladies being topless. Oh, a medical reason?? That explanation should be good. "the [medically trained] baroness noted, that if a piece of dirty clothing was pushed into a wound, that wound would be more likely to become infected. It would be much safer, she reasoned for the rapiers to touch only bare skin. So she instructed the combatants to strip down to the waist and ordered the male servants off in the distance to look away." That makes sense, actually. On the other hand, few men, if any dueled shirtless… infections? Man up. |

Wether it happened or not I suppose duelling topless is a good way to get something off your chest |

Oh come on, Last Conformist, way to be a fun killer! (Not that I am doubting your link) Next thing you are going to tell me is there are no unicorns. |
