I am looking for a best Arabic Shamshir/Dagger reference book. In particular, more-or-less in-depth coverage of workmanship details, such as scabbards, hilts, cartouches/maker stamps, etc.
Below are several books I am aware of. Any suggestions, and/or other references, guys? 1. Anthony C. Tirri new book: ISLAMIC WEAPONS Maghrib to Moghul. Is it too basic? 2. Islamic Arms and Armour by Robert Elgood. Does it worth $300? 3. ISLAMIC SWORDS AND SWORDSMITHS. By Unsal Yucel. Looks like a good one, but hard to find too. 4. The Arms and Armour of Arabia in the 18Th-19th and 20th Centuries by Robert Elgood. 5. Medieval Islamic Swords and Swordmaking: Kindi's Treatise on Swords and Their Kinds (Hardcover) by Robert G. Hoyland, Brian Gilmour. |
