Islamic arms and armor book?

There are many different books, but most of them you will have to look for on the net, as they are out of print. Do you have any addresses on antiquarians on the net?

I can’t help you much as my interest is on Indian weapons, but here is one.

Robert Elgood: The Arms and Armour of Arabia in the 18th-19th and 20th Century. Scholar Press, 1994.

Also have a look at the Swap Forum here on Vikingsword, where some books from Turkish museums are for sale at the moment. I am sure the seller can help you with titles on books about Ottoman weapons.

Notice that the Elgood book mentioned by Aqtai was not written by Elgood, he was the editor, but it is a very interesting book.
