Rich, I’ve looked around at some hardcopies and done some googling to no avail. Coincidentally, I wrote an article for EJMAS which was never used that tracked the patent forerunners of the stun gun and taser, but never done much research on saps.

I’ll post about it and ask around a bit to see if anyone recalls it.

Greetings!
I am have had an interest in the martial arts since the early 70′s. (I now hold a 2nd degree Black Belt) I remeber every one of the ads you have on your website.

There is one ad I had seen for a mail order product called the “SHOCKER” glove (?). As I recall, it was some type of glove you slipped on your hand, and I also remember the full page ad had some type of “x-ray” illustration showing how the device reinforced the KNIFEHAND striking edge of the hand. It wasn’t battery powered like in a stun gun, but I think it was some type of “SAP GLOVE” with powederd lead sewn in to it.
and it amplified the force of your strikes.
Have you or anyone else ever come across the ad?
