Publication Gothic to medieval swords and helmets
Yesterday received my copy from the book Gothic to Medieval Swords and Helmets. A collection of 53 medieval swords, 1 dagger and 5 helmets coming from the private collection of David Petty, which he has built up in a period of 60 years of collecting.
There are also 5 helmets published, however, the emphasis is on early medieval swords.
Very interesting for the medieval sword enthusiast because these are not previously know or published swords which are described in detail here. The structure is a bit like ROMS but then more accurate with a lot of dimensions (including fe point of balance, centre of percussion max width and thickness of tang), and images from different corners.
I received my copy via David Watson in the UK. but expect that this edition is limited in number.
I am satisfied with this publication, very useful as a reference work + it has given me some new insights.
