The original rules allowed that one could attack with the main-gauche and still use it to stop one hit of damage on the same turn. Rules also indicated it was only -1 DX used as a shield, but the shield armor table says, -2 DX/-4 DX. It is long past remembering what we used to do with this, but I think we made the main-gauche -2 DX only on a turn where we used it as a shield and attacked with it.

If this doesn't help, please excuse me for my intrusion.
