Kölner Fechtbuch Flourish

Quick interpretation of the Fechtregeln/MS (W*)150) flourish, done left-handed. I chose to interpret the cut into the “schylt” as a Schielhau rather than a Zwerch as I’ve seen others do it. It might have been miswritten, and “Schiel” and “Schylt” sound similar enough for it to be plausible. Another interpretation would be drawing up into an Hengenort position, which could be seen as a “shield”. They could also mean Schrankhut (Barrier Guard), since another meaning of schylt is a boat pole, and a “schrank” is sometimes translated as a post in the ground.
