We have discussed it already. Stunning collection but in a sadly bad shape.
Rivkin, have you really seen Caucasian weapons of 15-16th century? I am awed!
How do they look? Did the old kindjals vary much from the more contemporary ones? Can you tell us more? Any pictures? Nothing on the subject in Astvatsaruryan's book.
BTW, the Atlant Publishing House in Moscow says there are plans to re-issue her books on Caucasian and Turkish weapons in English! That will be a great day for all collectors!!
