NEW EASTERN ARMS AND ARMOR BOOK BY OLIVER PINCHOT NOW AVAILABLE!

[Oliver Pinchot]

I now have a limited number of copies of my new book available for sale:

ARMS OF THE PALADINS
The Richard R. Wagner Jr. Collection
of Fine Eastern Weapons

Price is $85 each for forum members and postage is included anywhere in the continental U.S. (Overseas please contact me for a postage quote.)

I’ve attached a number of images, which I took. These should in no way reflect on the fine quality of the book itself, I’m just an awful photographer. The book is hardcover, 8 3/4” x 11 /12” 183 pages, fully indexed and printed on glossy stock, dust jacket included. It contains hundreds of full color, HD photos of the contents of the Wagner Collection, together with text that’s conversational in tone but highly-detailed in content. This is a catalogue raisonne, and includes the hundreds of fine Islamic, South Asian and other arms. In addition to general classifications and detailed discussions and comparisons of subgroups of each weapon, a pronunciation key and translations of inscriptions are also included.

I set out to write a book which would address the many questions which arise among collectors and scholars without putting them to sleep. I hope to have done so. I'm honored to have received the following from a respected colleague: If I could have only one book on Eastern arms, this would be it.


I will be happy to sign your copy, just let me know when you order. Please contact me directly at oliverpinchot@hotmail.com to order.
