I know couple of other people but they mostly work with a mechanical damascus.

Rivkin,

Some of the images you've posted above are from Astvatsaturyan, don't recognize the others however. Can you cite the books from which the others came-- i.e. those of the 2 djigits?

Thanks,

Ham

Good looking pieces of armour. Its nice to know that there are modern armourers out there who make authentic looking Oriental/Eastern European armours as well as the usual Western European stuff. The Kulah Khud style helmet looks particularly nice.

Thanks also for the photos and paintings.

Hmm, I specifically chose the ones, that _do_ not appear in Astvatsaturjan (all of them). I'm surprised I missed some.

They are from the catalogue of Russian State History museum, well most of them.
The painting I think is a part of Gagarin's cycle (he made pictures of all "caucasian" types).
