Hounslow Sword Factory

Afternoon all.

I have been attempting to read up on the Hounslow sword works. I can find fragmentary articles, with the longest being a rather good one which is a part of an article by John F. Hayward on MyArmoury.com (here: http://myarmoury.com/feature_engswords.html)

Does anyone know if a) the Hounslow article or b) the whole article is available anywhere else - what publication was it drawn from? I'd like to reference it properly in some work on the so-called New Model Army.

Are there any other longer articles on Hounslow available anywhere?

Found it - Hayward John F. "English Swords 1600–1650." Arms and Armor Annual (1973), pp. 142–61
