Sure these are good foundation books after that any good museum books, auction catalogs, related books such as on Arab silver etc. I have a pretty large library I would have to sit down for a few hours to list them all,but below are in english and easy to find and most are in the 20-100 usd range. This should give a beginning collector a good start without breaking the bank.

1st A glossary of arms and armor by Stone
2nd oriental armour russel robinson
3rd indian sword Rawson
4th Indian and oriental arms and armor Lord Elgood
5th elgoods books firearms of islamic world,hindu arms and ritual,armor of arabia, etc
6th Islamic swords and swordsmiths by unsal yucel
7th African arms and armor Christoper Spring
