That was "Introduction to Islamic Arms " (1999). I recall talking with Tony North while I was researching Ali Dinar kaskaras as I had come across one said to be from his armory, and asked about the one in this sword grouping. He said he believed it was then owned by a collector in SE Asia or Thailand? but had lost track of where. |

You're welcome. I have the HMSO 1985 print which only has 'Islamic Arms' on the cover - but you're right, inside the title plate says 'An Introduction to Islamic Arms'.
If anyone wants to read the book you can borrow a digital copy by the hour for free from The Internet Archive by setting up a free account. https://archive.org/details/introductiontois0000nort I only got to meet Tony a couple of times at the Arms & Armour Society and the man was an absolute fount of arms information! He was a real loss to the community. |
