I got a present two days ago. An excelent russian book published 1995 dedicated to Caucasus weapons. I enjoy photos and draws (there are hundrends of them) but I cannot read a single word.

The book is "Weapons of the Caucasian nations" by E.Astvacaturyan.

Is anyone know a book like this in English or French?

Yeap, Astvatsaturjan is _the_ book on the subject.

The english edition is supposed to happen one day. There are some other books: Askabov, Lebedev etc., but they all fall very short of the depth of Astvatsaturjan's book.

If you want the chapters in Astvatsaturjan are:

1. Nothern Caucasus:
a. Circassia.
b. Osethia
c. Chechen and Ingush republics.

2.Dagestan.

3. TransCaucasia.
