Straight Parrying
Longsword
The straight parrying is somewhat like the Langort like position in which the long edge is turned against the opponent's blade in an extended parry. An argument can be made that the point may be slightly elevated compared to the hands in this guard, giving somewhat better protection as a parry.
Dussack
The straight parrying in the Dussack is otherwise known as the Schnitt. The straight parrying differs from Langort (longpoint) in that the point is elevated to allow parrying off to either side.
Rappier
The straight parrying with the rappier is again similar to Langort, though again not at the full extent of the longpoint, but rather with the slightly lowered hand and raised point to aid parrying. The image below contrasts the how we might interpret the lonpoint (on the left) vs the straight parrying (on the right).
