Beautuful exhibition and very nice book, although a minor point concerning the bibliography in the book : too much references to auction guides and auction houses / sales rooms compared to the number of actual literature on the cold weapons itself with regards to history and such by scolars and musea.
Nothing wrong with these from a visualisation perspective but lesser from a background historical "learning" perspective ☺
