303 pages. Pictorial hardcover with a dust jacket. 11.25" x 8.75". Featuring more than 1000 large detailed full-color photographs. SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR. Early British military swords have always interested collectors and historians, but over the years surprisingly little research has been done about these distinctive weapons and the men who supplied them. This remarkable new book approaches this topic from both a scholary and a practical point of view, carefully documenting the manufacture, distribution and combat service of these blades, while at the same time pointing out the issues that must be understood by anyone considering their purchase today. The Book is divided into two main sections. The first part of the book examines the makers of the swords, who the swords were made for, and the manufacturing techniques, including the markings, decorative elements, and symbolic motifs. The second part of the book examines the specific sword types and accessories - The Riding Sword, "Irish" Hilt Sword, The Hounslow Beast Pommels, Primitive Iron Bird Pommels, The Clam Shell Cutlass, The Mushroom Cap Hanger, The Mortuary Sword, The Proto-Mortuary Sword, Pattern Swords, English Walloon Swords, The Military Rapier, Scabbards, Belts, Buckles and Baldricks. A fascinating and important new reference for the sword collector and historian. Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng Language: eng. N� de r�f. du vendeur 4989
