withy all due respect I disagree with you on prof. dr. Petrovic:
you might disagree with some of her findings or she might have made the odd mistake but not only did Elgood use her works / actually copied them on the Balkan cold weapons in his book, but also scolars and historians do quote her...so it can not be all nonsense and certainly is not Serbian propaganda ( she is still used as a source in non Serbian ex Yu countries like Bosnia, Macedonia and Croatia...) and her obituary confirms the oposite...

I can recommand f.i. her book "Dubrovniker Waffen im 14. Jahrhundert / Dubrovačko oružje u 14. veku"
