Are there any good English language books on Caucasian arms and armor?

Of course, everyone has their own preferences. Rivkin's book is more modern and covers Caucasian items from a variety of collections. Astvatsaturyan’s book was written from the collection of only one museum and at a time when the Internet was not yet so widespread, which made the work of researchers difficult. But Astvatsaturyan’s research on ornamental motifs on weapons of different peoples of the Caucasus is undoubtedly unsurpassed. Unfortunately, I don’t know Russian well and read books in Russian using translation applications on my smartphone. But even such a translation allows you to get a lot of interesting and valuable information.
