Sabre
Probably correct but why Sabre - where does the 13th come in?
OMO, where does your R come from because the previous ask had 'E' as the fourth letter?
Parry fits, but can't see why 13th.
I just remember seeing it in another thread and there are two spellings for saber for a fencing foil but not sure about the 13th. I just had a look but couldn't find it!
My answer would be 'parry' as well but.....

Parry

(fencing) blocking a lunge or deflecting it with a circular motion of the sword
Question Author
For Captain2. Thanks for your help. The "r" comes from my answer to 2d ie pewter. Q. Sn+Cu will make an alloy for you (6). I have the same doubt about sabre, I just can't parse it.
Agree with 'pewter' - think I'd go with 'parry' for 12a but your choice. :)))
Once again, with parry where does the 13th come in.?
I don't have this crossword but saw on the internet that the answer to 13a was block so as you said parry was to block it makes sense now!
Gill, we already said that.

Would the question and answer for 13 help.
Gill, you must have read my thoughts.
Sorry Dave didn't see that on the thread!1
No problem.
I had a feeling that clue 13 was crucial.
Question Author
Yes I had bloc as the answer to 13a but missed the connection with 12a. It all makes sense now. I'll go with parry. Tks again to all.
A pleasure - good luck.
