I am satisfied with this publication, very useful as a reference work + it has given me some new insights.

I'm not familiar with the UK book trade, so does this Mr Watson have an online retailing site? I tried to Google him and I get a David Watson who's the author of a number of books that mix religion and politics -- clearly I'm barking up the wrong tree!

Please PM me with direct contact info if posting it on this thread violates the Forum's anti-commerce rules. I'd like to order a copy while it's still available.

Villerica: The book claims that all the swords (54 mostly mediaeval) and helmets (5) are authentic and I have no reason to think otherwise, though of course I have only the photos and detailed text to judge by.

Philip: Dave watson is a printer-publisher (under the name Dave Watson Solutions) who has previously published books on fishing and fishing-rods.
Hope that helps both of you.

Other places where I've seen this book discussed they mention that some of the examples shown are fakes.

To be honest, this isn't surprising considering that fakes are known to turn up in museums as well.
