The same publisher has a series of books on edged weapons military patterns for all Balkan countries, but these are topics that fall outside of my interests and the scope of this forum.

Oh, THAT book Teodor!! Actually I was waitin' for the movie
and my Russian is a bit rusty.
I guess I meant, references on Ottoman military arms are 'relatively' esoteric as far as I knew for us average Joe's .
Drac, thank you for the heads up on this site, which indeed offers amazing information on the arms and uniforms of the Ottoman army in these modern times ( maybe modern wrong term.....lets say late 19th early 20thc ).
I had forgotten about these militaria magazines and sites and now that these are online, much more accessible.
I guess its just knowing where to look . Thanks very much, very interesting look at 'somewhat little discussed' weapons of the Ottomans.
