received my fences & broadswords for my 1900 Manchu Tigermen

Separate bodies of especially bold warriors were called Tiger Men – so called because of their ferocity and, at least initially, because of the tiger faces painted on their shields. (Later they would actually wear tiger costumes.)

Very nice, cheng, but what is the significance of the fence?   ???
