I finally received the catalogue and I highly recommend it to anyone with an interest in Ottoman (or in my case, North African) blades. It is more than reasonably priced (the book itself, shipping to the US is another issue) for the scope and quality of the edition. The descriptions to the individual objects are very thorough, almost small essays in themselves.
