well Teodor,it will be a compendium about various fields, archeology, arts,numismatics, etc, and covering all historical eras, covering only the regions of Banat and Serbia, to be printed this summer. Our contribution refers to weapons-what I have posted here is the introduction to a larger article refering to a specific djeferdar rifle in our museum collection. Another article will be about balkan flintlock pistols and specific about a pair of kubura from our collection, considered to be the pistols of the last pasha of Timisoara(1716)
As far as I know, serbian colleagues also have articles aboud weapons (swords, yats)
The title will be something about "Cultural or Historical Heritage Etc"
Articles have to be presented in english.
