New book on central asian arms by D. Miloserdov
 

I would like to draw attention to the release of the first volume of D. Miloserdov's (formerly Mahratt on these forums) new publication on central asian arms.
As far as I understand this first volume deals with swords, axes and maces whereas the second volume will treat other weapon types.

I will only receive my copy in the coming days, so cannot give an in-depth review yet.
According to Kurt, who already has his copy in hand, but due to technical issues cannot post currently, it is a well researched work with excellent photography, showing pieces from Museums as well as private collections.

As of now the book is only printed in Russian, but a digital translation into English can be provided. I am looking very much forward to receiving my copy.
