Another heads-up: Kirill Rivkin" Arms and Armor of Caucasus"

[ariel]

It is on Amazon already.
The only one book on this topic in English. Miller's Danish book on Hermitage collection is not about weapons: it is about the Hermitage.

$85. 325 pages of superb illustrations, detailed description of military traditions, development, dating, attribution.

Examples from private collections and world-class museums.

I do not even approach Kirill's level of knowledge, so besides finding a couple of typos I cannot critique and argue. There are some great people on Russian Fora and a few knowledgeable people in large museums. I am expecting their comments to learn new things.

Meanwhile, it was a pure pleasure to read it.

Strongly recommend.

P.S. I miss Kirill on this Forum very much.
