about Balkan flintlock rifles

Books on Balkan arms are always interesting. Sergiu, do you know if the book will be on firearms from the Western Balkans only, or will the author attempt to write a comprehensive study in the entire peninsula?

Thank you,
Teodor

well Teodor,it will be a compendium about various fields, archeology, arts,numismatics, etc, and covering all historical eras, covering only the regions of Banat and Serbia, to be printed this summer. Our contribution refers to weapons-what I have posted here is the introduction to a larger article refering to a specific djeferdar rifle in our museum collection. Another article will be about balkan flintlock pistols and specific about a pair of kubura from our collection, considered to be the pistols of the last pasha of Timisoara(1716)
As far as I know, serbian colleagues also have articles aboud weapons (swords, yats)
The title will be something about "Cultural or Historical Heritage Etc"
Articles have to be presented in english.
What I have posted here is not the official translation, so sorry for the english errors, but here in the region of Banat we speak so many native languages, and english is not one of them

speaking of that, balkan weapons nomenclature still used in Romania and Serbia is perfectly illustrated in one specific book -The Arms of Greece... by R. Elgood. I just remembered that
