im assuming the books by anthony tirri would be a better reference on islamic/balkan/caucasian edged weapons than this one then.
i just found a copy of "weaponry of the past" on ebay for 200 bucks, but on hearing that its mostly focused on gunsmithing/muskets/arquebuses, i dont think id like to shell out that much for it, even if it is one of those "you'll only find this once a year or longer on ebay" things......
