Review Arms and Armor from Iran, one scholars view

Just for the record I have not mentioned Tirri's book. Especially as I rather like it. Most of all because it is a plain record with some interesting pieces the kind one is most likely to have a chance of owning, sometimes even better examples. I like the fact he can value a weapon just for what it is and where it came from.

Tim,
I did not refer to you. I am in complete agreement with your views on Tirri's book: I like it.

Well, I'm not discussing again on such pubblication as Islamic Arms as it is exactly what a sword porn book should be.

As for Orez Perski, it is a very, very nice book with a lot of photos, BUT the descriptions are not accurate at all. There are a lot of pieces miss-dated and some also missplaced. Again, its use is nothing else than a sword porn book.

Well, as we use to say here, Tito's made his biggest mistake in uniting Yugoslavia and his biggest achievement lies in breaking up with Soviets. Among other, it results that I can't understand what Astvatsaturyan has to say. I'm not sure if tht is a pitty

And Ariel, you definetly have too much time
